Andrew Zerkel graduated from Adrian College in 2004 with a Bachelor of Arts in English, and a minor in Earth Science. He also received his Secondary Education Teaching Certificate for the State of Michigan.

Since graduating in 2004, he has not been involved with teaching English, as he thought when leaving AC. In November 2006, he became a Financial Aid Counselor at his alma mater; a position he held for nearly two years. Recently, Andy took a similar Financial Aid position at Eastern Michigan University.

Andy has been an Alumni Board member since 2006.
