Andy Gordon studied at Georgetown University McDonough School of Business and is a Buffalo native working to develop the city's entrepreneurial ecosystem. A damaged but persevering Buffalo Bills and Sabres fan, Andy was inspired to write his book, New Grit, while crying into his beer after a Buffalo Bills 54-24 loss to the San Diego Chargers on the back of Nathan Peterman's five interceptions.
