Andy Hillstrand Bio: Andy Hillstrand (age 44) trades command duties with John between seasons; he is the captain of the Time Bandit during opilio crab season.
He is talkative and considers himself the most levelheaded of the family. He runs the business side but always includes his brothers on the final decisions. Andy is also married (25 years), with two grown daughters, and one grandson. At his ranch in Indiana, Andy engages in his other passion: horse training. He trains Quarter horses through the natural horsemanship or “horse whisperer” technique. He is also 3x Barrel Racing Champion in Alaska. | | |
