Personal

I knew I wanted to become an orthodontist from as early as I can remember! I loved going to my Dad’s office and seeing all the tools and instruments that he got to use. When I was 14 years old, I went to a youth conference where the leaders asked those in attendance to write down their life goals until age 30. I remember writing down my career goal of becoming an orthodontist. At the time, I had no idea that it would take 11 years to accomplish that goal! It has been one of the best goals I have ever set. I am so happy that I stuck with it! I get to enjoy seeing first hand, the life changing impact orthodontics can have on an individual. The improved self esteem and changes that come from a beautiful, healthy smile, is just one of the many joys of this profession. Sharing this with the community I was born and raised in, allows me to have a personal connection to those I serve. – Dr. Andy

In 1988, I married my high school sweetheart. We have a daughter and three sons. I am an avid Duck fan, and many of the activities that I enjoy outside the office are associated with sports. Over the years, I have enjoyed watching and coaching my boys play baseball, basketball and football. Playing a round of golf is also a favorite free time activity. Thanks to my Mom, I can enjoy the arts. Whether it’s a production at the Hult Center, or one of the many local music events, Eugene has so much to offer!
