A longtime resident of Madison County, Mississippi, Andy received the Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from Millsaps College in 1991 and the Master of Arts degree in English from Mississippi State in 1995, going on to receive his Juris Doctor degree, cum laude, from the University of Mississippi School of Law in 2002.
