Andrew turned pro in 1995, choosing to skate for Bidhouse Skateboards. Almost immediately, he achieved first place outings in two competitions. Ultimately, Andrew decided to transport his thriving career to the West Coast. At the age of 18, he settled down in Huntington Beach, California. From there, Andrew continued to establish a powerful name for himself, publishing videos of his exploits and winning or placing in numerous high-profile competitions. What distinguished Andrew from other skaters was his stunning technical precision; his elaborate tricks were perfectly timed and executed. However, this degree of technical expertise did not render his performance any less exciting. Andrew is also known for taking on the biggest tricks, from sailing down lengthy flights of stairs to covering enormous gaps. Through it all, he also manages to maintain a distinctive sense of style. Combined, these three dimensions of Reynolds' talent — precision, scope, and style — help to explain the legendary status he has attained over the last two decades.
More recently, Andrew's notoriety has extended beyond the realm of his skating achievements. After founding Baker Skateboards in 2001, the business gradually became one of the most respected skateboarding companies in the world. Additionally, he is now the chief designer at Altamont Apparel, a very popular skateboarding outfitter. Today, Andrew maintains a home in Los Angeles, California, where he lives with his wife, Christianna, and their daughter..
