Despite his intimidating 6’4” frame, this suave mixologist is a big teddy bear at heart. Raised by a single mom on the South Side of Chicago, Andre was taught to respect and protect women at all costs. Andre found his way into the service industry when a career-ending injury sidelined his college basketball career and lost him his hard-earned athletic scholarship at Texas State. Starting his career at the prestigious Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, he eventually became the bar manager at Austin’s biggest nightclub where he was equally valued for his delectable cocktails and his charming personality. With his strong work ethic and steadfast patience, Andre is the perfect foil for Telly, his spirited and often volatile partner behind the bar.
