A graduate of Algonquin College’s Sport Business Management Graduate Certificate Program in Ottawa, Andrew also holds a diploma in Recreation and Leisure Services from Canadore College.

His love of sport has driven him to get involved in the sport community as a coach, referee, volunteer, player, and fan. Andrew has been a lifelong fan of the Toronto Blue Jays and has had the opportunity to watch local games while travelling through Nicaragua and Panama.

“I am extremely excited to join the Baseball Canada team,” said Caudwell.
