Article talking about an Andrew Bates?

I cannot determine whether this article is about the same person as the Trinity creator. It could be about a different person since it does not mention his illustration and game design work.

The article notes: "Nerd Louisville's birth in May of 2015 was, of course, nerdy. Co-founders Mike Pfaff and Andrew Bates have long been involved in Louisville's gaming culture and wondered why there wasn't a central online hub where people could meet and learn about events. Bates, who leads the Planning and Compliance Division of the Louisville Metro Department of Resilience and Community Services, was immersed in the world of non-profits but had no real-world experience in running one. Pfaff convinced Bates that a nerd-centric group and website was the ideal non-profit opportunity and Nerd Louisville was born. ... It was an eye-opener for Bates that students didn't have their own books, which are de rigueur for any level of gamer. "That was a surprise to me and really put it into perspective," said Bates, 48. "I grew up pretty middle class, and when I played Dungeons & Dragons, I begged my parents a little bit, and they got me the books. The books are $40 and a struggling family isn't going to drop $40 on books.""^[1] BOZ (talk) 15:48, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
