Meet the Business Owner
Andy M.
Business Owner
I was born in England and lived there for many years, both in South London and in the historic city of Winchester. I spent some of my school years in Singapore and in Germany, and my early professional years in Vancouver, Canada and moved to Philadelphia in 1994. My love for travel has taken me to almost 50 countries and over 30 States, but the longest time I have spent in one place, by far, is Philadelphia, my children having studied at schools in the city, as well as over the bridge in New Jersey. Having always been interested in the history of the United States, it was a simple step to studying how the city of Philadelphia has been such an important part of all the major developments that have taken place, from the early days of William Penn, to the Revolutionary War, to Independence, the Industrial Revolution, the Civil War, the railways and on and on.
