Andrew Smolen

Board Member

After traveling to India in 2011 and then again in 2016, Andrew found a deep passion for the people of India. Having been introduced to NHH directors Johnson and Esther on the trip in 2016 he wanted to help in any way he could. Joining the board of directors in early 2019 he made it over to spend time at the facility and with the girls (pre-covid) just as our rooms were beginning to fill up. From there his passion for New Horizons has only grown. A graduate of James Madison University in 2004, he has found his career in the airline industry, serving as a pilot for a major airline. In his off time, he can be found spending time with his lovely wife, Emily and their 2 young daughters.
