An avid volleyball player (three nights a week in three different community leagues), in April 1997 Andy decided to give up his Wednesday night Portland YWCA volleyball league to join the chorus and sing as a baritone in the MGMC’s 5th anniversary Pride concert at Merrill Auditorium and he’s continued singing in every concert since.

Andy grew up and attended school in Fairfield, Maine, where his Mom and most of the family still lives. After two years at the University of Maine in Orono, he graduated from Michigan State University with a B.A. degree in instrumental music and a concentration in natural resources. Andy’s passion for the environment and recognition of the special unique place that Maine is, led him to go to work for the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, first in Portland and now in Augusta, where he is a 24 year veteran of the Bureau of Air Quality. Andy still keeps his hand in instrumental music by playing guitar and keyboards in a DEP band that performs at department and other state agency functions, as well as having played at the Blaine House on a couple of occasions.

A resident of Auburn for the past 13 years, Andy shares his home with his best friend Adam and their canine and feline companions Emily, Molly, Tibby, Tabby and Joanie.

Justin first fell in love with music and performing in 4th grade when he started the violin. He moved on to the clarinet and studied and played for about 8 years, also singing with his high school choir and performing in several drama club productions. Justin continued singing and performing at the University of Maine at Farmington being involved with the UMF Community Chorus, UMF Dancers and acting in several theatrical productions including She Stoops to Conquer, The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940, and Some Things You Need to Know Before the World Ends (A Final Evening with the Illuminati),

Justin joined the chorus in Fall of 2008 as a singing member and joined the board shortly after, serving a short term as Treasurer. When not involved with the chorus, Justin works as a Researcher & Analyst for PolicyOne Research in Scarborough. Justin lives in Westbrook with his partner and their two cats.
