Andrea VanEpps was born in Salem, Oregon, but as a toddler she moved with her family to a small town in Montana where she was first introduced to the stage and all of the physical activities that shaped her future in entertainment.

As small as the town may have been it had a lot to offer. She practiced martial arts, shooting everything from the smallest pistols to semi-auto weapons (it was Montana after all), hiking and climbing all the beautiful mountains and rock faces that surrounded the valley and everything else that she never knew that people pay to do elsewhere. Amidst her pursuit of an acting career she discovered the otherwise unknown world of stunts. It didn't take long for her to fall in love with the physicality and the precision involved in stunts. And thus began the career of stunt acting for Andrea VanEpps.
