Andrew Eppley Shue was born on 20 February 1967, in Wilmington, Delaware. He is an American actor and entrepreneur with German ancestry. He’s probably best known for his role as Billy Campbell in the 90s television series “Melrose Place” and was also part of “The Rainmaker”.

He played for the Bulawayo Highlanders and was the only white player in the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League during this time. He went on to win two titles with the Highlanders before moving forward with his acting career.

The website was a first, and one that was founded at the right time and aimed at the right audience, resulting in a large amount of profit and a staggering increase to both founders’ net worth. The two also co-founded the company Do Something. CafeMom has grown to become a family of companies holding extension sites, blogs and the like.
