Company culture doesn’t just happen, it must be cultivated.

We believe: caring starts with me, extends to you, and, in the end, it’s about us.
We provide a place where people can be human, unscripted, and respond in the moment.

Andrew

Andrew

When we say, “Our fearless leader” – we’re not kidding. He can often be heard to say, “Get busy living or get busy dying.” Dr. Peter lives for adventure and can often be found following an ascension line up a remote Alaskan ridge or backcountry biking with his daughter Thalia in the kid pack with his wife, Heidi, following close behind. From growing up in a small town in Iowa, to Pacific University where he graduated from optometry school, to international travel, Dr. Peter established a baseline for curiosity, ambition, and continual learning about the world around him.

Now living in Homer, Dr. Peter’s goal in life is to provide the best care to his patients while never losing his sense of adventure and vitality.

Heidi

Heidi

Where her husband is the steering wheel, Heidi is the twin engine motors for Homer Eyecare – which is to say she’s a powerhouse. Calm, collective, and adventurous Heidi knows how to propel the Team forward while also keeping the clinic underway.

If she wasn’t so damn good at her job, Heidi would probably be a language teacher. Heidi teaches her two Monsters – Andrew and Thalia – fluency in Austrian German and English. Even though she is quite active, Heidi also understands the importance of work/life balance resulting in the feeling of Gemütlichkeit.

Kalliste

Kalliste

An unexpected blend of left and right brain, Kalliste is the heart of our internal operations. It probably comes from the best advice she was ever given, “Find happiness in who you are – everything else flows from that.”

Kalliste truly works hard to play hard. If she’s not adding her magic touch wordsmithing our policies and care practices, you’ll find her sailing, landing on a beach, setting up camp and adventuring from there. It’s the quiet in-between times in the Alaskan wilderness where she experiences moments of Yugen.

Frank

Frank

A rock in the storms, Frank’s upbeat and honest nature keeps us on an even keel. As our Lead Optician, Frank finds daily inspiration in watching our patients put on their first pair of glasses and seeing the world clearly for the first time.

Frank has a sharp sense of humor and a tender heart for too many puppies and kittens with not enough homes. When not being Homer Eyecare’s Superhero Glasses Repairman, Frank blows off steam building or working on motorcycles and computers. He also serenades the rest of the office on his ukulele – he even takes requests!

Kayleigh

Kayleigh

Kayleigh is an Alaskan Original: feisty, quirky, and bubbly. Our Optical Manager extraordinaire, Kayleigh is a pragmatist and an idealist as evidenced in the holiday she would create involving food and comfy clothing.

If Kayleigh had a super power, it would be to fly so she wouldn’t be late to anything. She also recognizes she might be a flight risk as there are times she cannot even walk straight! Kayleigh lives by the motto: There are never failures, only lessons to grow from.

Linnaea

Linnaea

Quietly hilarious, our Lead Technician gave us 7 descriptor words when asked for 3. Linnaea describes herself as honest, patient, thoughtful, artistic, adventurous, amiable, and easy-going. On Sunday mornings you can usually find her working on an art project, drinking coffee before the sun comes up, usually with her German Shepherds on her lap.

Linnaea’s Super Power would involve healing, as she believes it’s one of those things that we all wish we could do. If Linnaea weren’t so damn good at her job, her love for animals would have her using those healing skills as a veterinarian.
