Just figure it out after many hours of trial and error. Will post my code here so anyone can use as reference:

   
<!-- AUTHOR BLOG POST LOOP 2 COLUMNS -->

<h2>Post by <?php echo $curauth->first_name; ?></h2>
<br>

<!-- Set parameters to display in posts loops-->

<?php 

$args1 = array( 
	'numberposts' => 2, 
	'offset' => 0,  
	'author' => $authordata->ID,
	'post_not_in' => array( $post->ID )
	);
	
	
$args2 = array( 
	'numberposts' => 2, 
	'offset' => 2,  
	'author' => $authordata->ID,
	'post_not_in' => array( $post->ID )
	);	
	
// This is for author remaining blog posts 
$args3 = array( 
	'offset' => 4,  
	'author' => $authordata->ID,
	'post_not_in' => array( $post->ID )
	);	

?> 

<div class="author_columns">

<!-- First column loop posts -->

<div class="one-half first">

<?php query_posts('showposts=2'); ?>
<?php $posts = get_posts($args1); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
<?php static $count1 = 0; if ($count1 == "2") { break; } else { ?>

<a>"&gt;&lt;?php the_post_thumbnail('medium'); ?&gt; </a>
&lt;h3&gt;<a>" title="&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;"&gt;&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;</a>&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;?php the_excerpt (); ?&gt;


&lt;?php $count1++; } ?&gt;
&lt;?php endforeach; ?&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;!--Second column loop posts offset 2--&gt;

&lt;div class="one-half"&gt;

&lt;?php query_posts('showposts=2'); ?&gt;
&lt;?php $posts = get_posts($args2); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?&gt;
&lt;?php static $count2 = 0; if ($count2 == "2") { break; } else { ?&gt;


<a>"&gt;&lt;?php the_post_thumbnail('medium'); ?&gt; </a>
&lt;h3&gt;<a>" title="&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;"&gt;&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;</a>&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;?php the_excerpt (); ?&gt;

&lt;?php $count2++; } ?&gt;

&lt;?php endforeach; ?&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;!--AUTHOR REMAINING BLOG POST LIST AFTER FOURTH ENTRY --&gt;

&lt;ul class="author_post_list"&gt;
&lt;?php

$myposts = get_posts( $args3 );
foreach ( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?&gt;

	<li>&lt;h4&gt;<a>"&gt;&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;</a>&lt;/h4&gt;</li>
    
&lt;?php endforeach; 
wp_reset_postdata();?&gt;

</ul>
