If you have ever wanted to shoot paintball's at your father who is on a four wheeler from a tube getting pulled behind it with 30 ft of rope in between than Andy MacDonald is a man you should have met.
MacDonald did not always start out this courageous, that is if you count jumping out of his crib with his twin brother Peter before the age of one not courageous. MacDonald would not call this courageous his word choice was "good old fashioned American fun."
MacDonald started this “fun” in Swanzey, New Hampshire where he fell in love with the great outdoors.
“Our parents pretty much let us do what we wanted, that was not a bad thing in the early 90’s. We just played in the woods and built forts,” said MacDonald’s twin brother Peter.
MacDonald and his family of five, three kids two adults, moved around quite a bit and he likes to think that each place taught him something different.
After Swanzey, where MacDonald fell in love with nature and being outside, the MacDonald’s moved to Chelmsford, Massachusetts. Chelmsford was a small town but that is where MacDonald started first grade. He learned to true meaning of friendship, “Though I haven’t kept in contact with any of them, I remember the fun we had.”
Next on the destinations of Macdonald’s life was Columbia, South Carolina. “Columbia might have been my favorite place to be, it was like a vacation.” MacDonald and his family lived on a golf course and lived the “country club life” as he described it. They played golf and tennis every week and in the summers the kids would compete with the swim team. “Living down there taught me my favorite part about myself, how to relax and take life as it comes to you”
