Andrew Lynn

Andrew is a professional arborist and founding member of More Trees Arborist Collective, a Troy-based worker-owned cooperative. He is also the founder, long time collective member and current board member of the Troy Bike Rescue, a non-profit community and DIY bike shop. He was more formally educated in electronic media arts at RPI and was a professor of graphic design and media production at Hudson Valley Community College for more than a decade as well as being the Youth Media Education coordinator at Manhattan’s public access television studios. Andrew’s involvement with the Sanctuary pre-dates its founding, as an active member of Hudson-Mohawk Indymedia Center in the early 2000s. He has volunteered in varying capacities with The Sanctuary for Independent since 2007. These days, when not climbing trees, he might be gardening, biking, snowboarding, parenting, or screaming and playing guitar with his punk band, Zombie Giuliani.
