Director and Associate Professor of Arts Management at American University, Andrew previously directed the Bolz Center for Arts Administration, an MBA degree program and learning center in the Wisconsin School of Business, for more than a decade.
As a consultant, he has advised and supported the International Society for the Performing Arts, American Ballet Theatre, Create Austin, Theatre Communications Group, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Wallace Foundation, and the Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru), among others. With AMS Planning & Research, he helped develop the budget pro forma and operating plan for the $205-million Overture Center for the Arts in Madison, Wisconsin, and advised its transition from a public entity to a nonprofit.

Since July 2003, he has written a popular blog on the business of arts and culture, "The Artful Manager," hosted by ArtsJournal.com.
