Andrew O. Horton was born in Idaho and raised mostly in Provo. He served his mission in California, where he was “shot at, chased, crawled on, smog-smothered, and converted.” He graduated from BYU and then later completed his master’s degree in education. Andy taught seminary for ten years, but presently, he is on assignment at the Church Office Building, where he designs new media for Seminary and Institute classrooms. Andy and his wife, Stephanie, are the parents of four girls and two boys. They enjoy watching their children play soccer and basketball. Some of their greatest memories have come from moments at the dinner table and trips to Disneyland.
