Joining Real Maryland midway through the season, Kish has brought a rich blend of enthusiasm and experience to the team.
Born in Columbus, Ohio, Kish started his journey towards becoming a professional soccer player whilst studying at Virginia Commonwealth University. He was a regular in the back line at the collegiate side until graduating in 2001.
While at VCU, Kish also played for PDL team Carolina Dynamo before plying his trade across the pond with Welsh side Rhayader Town. It is here that he first saw his name in the headlines as a reward for scoring his first goal at the club. It was not until after leaving the Welsh outfit that Andy linked up with Coach Silvino Gonzalo for the first time at Northern Virginia Royals.
Having played under the guidance of Gonzalo for two seasons, Andy decided to enroll at Carnegie Mellon University. Upon completing his Master’s degree in Public Policy and Management, the player worked in his chosen field before returning to play under Gonzalo with the Monarchs.
Andy’s favorite club is Manchester United while he most admires English fullback Rio Ferdinand. The beaches of the Caribbean are his preferred vacation destination.
