Teaches at Brooklyn Brainery

Andrew is the Vice President of Turnstile Tours, a tour and consulting company that works with non-profit and cultural institutions around New York City to research, develop, and operate tours and public programs that highlight sites and stories that are underrepresented in the public record. Founded in 2012 by Andrew's wife Cindy VandenBosch, Turnstile currently operates tour programs of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Brooklyn Army Terminal, New York City's public markets, and the street food industry. Originally from New Haven, Connecticut, Andrew studied early American history as an undergraduate at Middlebury College and political geography and criminology at the University of Colorado-Boulder graduate school. Prior to working at Turnstile, Andrew lived in Moscow and Irkutsk, Russia, where he studied geography and worked as a reporter, editor, and translator for a number of media outlets. After moving to New York in 2009, he worked at the International Coalition of Historic Sites of Conscience, a worldwide network of museums and historic sites that use difficult histories to promote positive social change, coordinating their programming in the former Soviet Union. Andrew is fascinated by military and maritime history and the contemporary workings of New York Harbor, and he is an avid shipspotter, birdwatcher, and paddler. He has led the research and development of the World War II tour of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, which launched on Veterans Day 2012, and tour programs at the Brooklyn Army Terminal.​

  • The History of World War II in 20 Brooklyn Objects

    Anonymous review on 3/8/2018
    This class was very interesting and made everything hit home a lot more than a normal history class. Our projector light blew out (not the teachers fault), but the class went on. Definitely wish we could have had the slides in front of us for the presentation and think I would have taken more in, but still walked away with a lot more information and the want to learn more.
