Andrew Whiteford Video | The King of POV | Jackson Hole Cliffs & Powder When you look at Andrew Whiteford on the street, you see a skinny blond kid that looks like he’d fall over if you pushed him. By looking at him, you wouldn’t guess he’s any kinda athlete. You’d guess he was a computer programmer or pubic accountant.
