Andrew was raised in Indiana to farming parents, studied engineering in college and earned a PhD from Stanford Uni (and also went on to lecture there). In 1994 he invented the first online dating site (WebPersonals), then Friend Finder in 1996, which grew to 20+ communities. In 2007, he sold control and stepped away to find himself. He worked on philanthropic ventures and learned to paint. Now he's back as 80% owner of FFN, has a new CEO, Brock Purpura and promises to put members before profits, and has made the following changes.
- Gold members now have FULL access to the site
- It's 2024. FFN is no longer an adult site...it is now a community for adults.
- Changed content filter categories so members can remove risque pics
- Dropped the cost of points/message
...There's also several anti-scammer tools in development
