Here is Andy’s Story

President and Co-Founder

Welcome to Happy Hour!  My name is Andy and I helped start Happy Hour Sports in May of 2022.  For years I would spend hours every night researching and discussing bets with some of my college buddies from the University of South Carolina.  We decided to take it to the next level and share our thoughts with you all on a larger scale while sparking conversation and building a community in the process.

I have always been a fan of sports growing up thanks to my dad, who I can also thank for my love of basketball and the Butler Bulldogs.  Over the years I have become an NBA fanatic, fantasy basketball junkie, and stats nerd for all things hoops.  On top of my affection for basketball, you will find me actively writing and talking about football, soccer, and MMA.

My mission as a writer and content creator is to provide you all with enough information to feel confident in what you came to Happy Hour Sports for in the first place.  Whether it is sports betting insights, fantasy advice, or long-form sports discussions, we have got you covered.  Finally, if you’re reading anything from me, I can promise that I will show a little bit of bias towards my Indianapolis Colts and Liverpool FC.
