As a co-founder of Oberon, Andrew has thus far led Oberon’s nutritional and product development research. Andrew first traveled to Norway during graduate school where he gained experience in the aquaculture industry.

Together with Seth Terry, he formed the concept of generating SCP from food by-products shortly after his return in 2000. From that point until 2003, Andrew and Seth jointly conducted laboratory-scale SCP research. From 2003 to 2005, Andrew worked as a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellow in Norway. There, Andrew conducted pilot-scale research related to SCP production, handling, and feed manufacturing methods. Andrew holds a B.S. in biology with a microbiology focus from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. His M.S. and Ph.D. degrees are in Environmental Science and Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado where he researched wastewater and drinking water microbiology and engineering.

An engineering consultant since 2005, Andrew brings additional expertise to the Oberon team including water treatment chemistry, process applications, project management, and 15 years of construction experience.
