Andrew Lovallo is a very energetic, captivating person. The first time you meet him, he is a person that you want to know. You can tell he has an adventurous spirit, which is why he came to Purdue. He said he wanted something different from his small hometown of Cohasset near Boston. Andrew loved how there was so much going on around him on campus when he visited.

Andrew is in Retail Management here at Purdue, but his passion is sports. He loves baseball, football, and basketball. He has been able to fulfill his love of sports by playing in the intramural sports that are offered. He attends many of the Purdue sports games here on campus as well. He really likes Purdue basketball since he is not much of an NBA fan. Something that makes Andrew unique is that he loves the New York teams even though he lives near Boston. He says that it is because his father grew up in New Jersey and loved the New York teams, and taught that love to Andrew.

Beyond sports, Andrew loves his twin sister, Christine. He says that they are very close, making it hard that they don’t see each other very often because she goes to school in Philadelphia. He has another older sister, Julia, as well, but you can tell that his twin is more than just a sister, she is his friend.

His older sister lives in New York and that is where Andrew wants to end up. He says that he loves New York. He would like to live there and, even though he doesn’t know specifics yet, have some sort of job in sports. Andrew’s love of sports and family are apparent to anyone who talks to him. He has found his passion, now he is just trying to figure out how to turn his love into a career.
