Hello! I'm Andrew John Schmitz (or just Andrew for short). I'm an author, poet, and entrepreneur.

I was born in Madison, Wisconsin - Sadly, I rarely eat cheese. I've spent time as a gypsy living across four continents in places like Lebanon, Australia, Hong Kong, Sweden, Germany, Canada, and Turkey. I currently live in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I release one book per year, but these books are not just entertainment for your imagination - I also seek to add value by incorporating subtle themes, philosophical musings, and inspirational messages.

There's not a conventional box into which I fit - I run a blog that focuses on everything from spirituality and consciousness to practical philosophies for life and love. I'm also part business strategist and founded Creative Life Ventures, and help companies and entrepreneurs with their ecommerce logistics at Shipwire. You can check out some of my business related content on LinkedIn.

What I care about most is using my words to leave a mark on your imagination, and those who are part of my community can attest to this.
