Born in Oklahoma and educated at the University of Colorado at Boulder, I moved to Portland in 2011 on a whim. I spent the next few years working in the outdoor industry, training for marathons, and taste-testing Portland’s endless food offerings and local IPAs. I joined Visualeyes in the summer of 2015 and am so excited to be part of such a great team. I love my job because I not only get to meet hordes of amazing and interesting people coming through our clinic, but I also get to help them pick out new frames. The best pair of glasses not only help you see better, but function best at the intersection of your personal style and your active lifestyle. My main goal is for you to leave Visualeyes blissfully happy and confident in your new eyewear.

When I’m not at Visualeyes you can find me with a slice of pepperoni at Laurelhurst Theater, running up Mt. Tabor, playing the banjo lipitor, or preparing my medical school applications.

I’m a proud Portland native and manager at Visualeyes. Before joining the team in 2012, I was working and travelling seasonally all over the country- my most recent adventure being in Denali Park, Alaska. Being blessed with imperfect eyes, I’ve been wearing glasses and contacts for over 10 years. I fell in love with the optical world when I realized I could not only help people see their best, but look and feel their best too!

When I’m not helping out here, you can probably find me camping and hiking around the pnw, going to shows or binge playing video games lasix. Challenge me at Super Smash Bros., I dare you!

I’m a local PSU product. I earned his BA in Business Management and Leadership and continues his work in the area co-managing an optical practice. I love working with patients to help them express themselves and find the best fit. I take note to almost everything but pay most attention to eyewear, fashion, music, and design bactrim. Visualeyes is the culmination of those passions.

Dr. Trinh was born in Vietnam and immigrated to the United States when she was a child. Growing up in adversity, her dream was realized after a lengthy journey when she received her Doctorate of Optometry from Pacific University in May of 2014.  As a Portland native who earned her undergraduate degree from Portland State University, she is ecstatic to be joining an exceptional team in maintaining the visual health of those located at the heart of her home and growing lifetime friendships. When she is not thinking about eyes, you can find her by the side of her fiancé and family enjoying the wonderful outdoors and finding all the new food adventures that Portland has to offer. For the curious zithromax, yes she is old enough!

Dr. Aker grew up in the Southwest culture of Tucson, AZ. After graduating from the University of Arizona, he attended Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon, where he received his Doctorate of Optometry in 2007. He has spent the past several years practicing in the Portland area and is a member of the Oregon Optometric Physicians Association. Coming from the dry desert cipro, it was very easy for him to fall in love with the Northwest. When he’s not checking your eyes, he loves to take his wife, Lynn, and two kids, Scarlet and Angel, camping and enjoying all that the Pacific Northwest has to offer. Snowboarding, basketball, art, and music production take up the rest of his time.
