Andrew Smith, 33
Video Producer, St. Helen
Andrew Smith was born and raised in Roscommon County and graduated from Houghton Lake High School in 2010. After graduation, he worked locally as a server before joining the U.S. Army in 2013, seeking new experiences and personal growth. While on leave, Andrew met the love of his life, Taylor, and they married in February 2014. After completing his term in the military, Andrew and Taylor returned to Michigan to start their family, and they now have three boys and are homeowners in Roscommon County.
Andrew earned his associate’s degree in accounting, which led him to become the treasurer of the Houghton Lake Soccer Association, where he has volunteered and coached for the past six years. In 2022, Andrew realized his long-held dream of becoming a video producer. With additional training and self-directed learning, he launched his business, AAO Media, which has allowed him to pursue video production full-time and showcase his talents across the state. Andrew has produced videos for the Houghton Lake Bobcat football team, MMA fighters, businesses, and local nonprofits, including the RCCF!
Andrew is passionate about telling the stories of people and businesses in Roscommon County. Andrew says his video work with the Houghton Lake football team has been a rewarding experience, allowing him to create highlight reels and capture memories that will last a lifetime for Bobcat players and their families. Andrew is proud to help put his small town on the map through his videos – and we’re proud to have his talents here in Roscommon County.
