Andy joined his Lighthouse family in July of 2002. Andy’s sense of humor often sets the tone of the house. Andy enjoys listening to music in his room, watching MASH, shooting baskets, and hanging out with the guys. Only if you are a special friend will he entertain you with his opera.

In 2018 Seth became a new resident to the Lighthouse. His transition was gradual as he continued to work in town for a while. Now he works as part of our Shining Honor Project and is fully immersed in our farm life as one of our most reliable chore volunteers and can handle a wheelbarrow like no other. His love for power rangers is as fierce and on point as his sense of humor.
