Nope, born and raised American. Even though, if I grew my beard and wore a turban, I definitely look Middle Eastern, but not so much European.. Lol.
Ando - originated on the basketball court with my High School varsity team. Ever since then, my friends called me Ando. Which is weird, because usually nicknames are used to shorten your full name, but it has the same amount of characters. Never asked why, just thought it might have been a sign of respect.
