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.
