Andrew was born in Birmingham, England and grew up in Jamaica, Queens. Lisa grew up in Jackson Heights, Queens. They met at the beach ....the tip of the Rockaway Peninsula, Breezy Point to be exact. Actually they didn't meet there but laid eyes on each other for the first time, love at first sight. Andrew's parents had sent him to Jamaica as a youngster for summer holidays and thus began the foundation that would later inspire them to move to Jamaica. Lisa and Andrew permanently moved to Jamaica in 1972 and started the construction of their humble abode carved into the Blue Mountains of Jamaica.
