Andrew first began working in community-based natural resource management in Tanzania in the mid 1990s working for the Jozani Chwaka Bay Conservation Project as community management facilitator. He then carried out field research for a PhD in central Tanzania studying environmental history, livelihoods and land use conflict. After contributing to the design phases of the Serengeti and Mahale National Park General Management Plans, he became an independent consultant while completing writing up his PhD. Thereafter he was Country Director for Sand County Foundation Tanzania Programme for a year, before joining TNRF in September 2006 as Coordinator. Andrew left TNRF at the end of 2008 after handing over to a new Tanzanian Executive Director, although he continues to support the Secretariat part-time during a transition period.
