Andrew Vaillencourt is a former mental health professional, gym teacher, bouncer, amateur MMA competitor and freelance writer. He currently spends most of his time as the VP of Engineering for an energy services company saving the world one kilowatt at a time. He is one of twelve children and he is pretty sure that Mom loves him best. But it's hard to call that one.

When he is not crawling through the bowels of large office buildings hunting for energy savings or railing against the iniquities of a predatory marketplace, Andrew is an avid reader, hiker, martial artist, cook, and weightlifter. His wife swears he is a nice guy, but this has not been confirmed by any outside sources. His three children actively refute this.
