“Andrew Roda has quite a past—and a future that is glowing bright. He walked onto the polo team in college despite not knowing how to ride a horse. He did a lucrative stint as an East Coast investment banker before going to Hollywood and serving as Johnny Depp’s stand-in for a Tim Burton film. He’s hiked the Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim in less than a day, and he’s done the Ironman a few times. Somewhere in between those adventures, he taught himself to paint—and he’s pretty darn good at it”
