Andrew Jeffrey Flanagan was born in the late 1960s. He grew up in Hot Springs, Arkansas and Plano, Texas. In Hot Springs, he lived next door to the then Governor Bill Clinton. When Bill became Governor, Andrew Flanagan, worked at Bill Clinton's mothers house on Scully Street. Andrew fed the dog, mowed the grass and did odd jobs for Mrs Virginia Dwyer. Andrew was invited to be Bill Clinton's personal page in Little Rock for a period of time. Andrew grew up playing football, basketball, baseball and even tried his hand at track & field. As a all state high school football player, Andrew was able to secure a scholarship at a Division 1 School. After finalising his playing career, Andrew became a basketball official.

He has achieved many things over the years in the sport including officiating in state, national and All-American, NAIA, NCAA Division 1 leagues. He has been working within the FIBA system for approximately 14 years. He continues to be an integral part of the game in various capacities today. His dream is to help others find the education pathway that leads them to achieve their dreams in officiating sport and their personal and professional goals. This has led him to develop an educational platform that all officials in every sport can use to develop their skills to advance.

He has several children that play state and national level sport. His website is www.andrewjeffreyflanagan.com for tennis parents.
