Andres Gutierrez Gonzalez was born in Yuma, AZ, and raised in the bordering towns of San Luis R.C., Sonora, Mexico, and San Luis, AZ. In these towns, he was actively involved in the skateboarding and music scene, playing the trumpet for the town mariachi and being the drummer in his after-school metal rock band with many performances in garages around town.
He completed his undergraduate degree in Public Health at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, AZ. After that, he joined the United States Air Force as a Mental Health Technician, during which he became a Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor for service members and their families. Following six years of active-duty service, he enrolled at the University of North Texas Health Science Center to complete a graduate degree in Medical Science in preparation for applying and attending medical school at Rush Medical College in Chicago, IL.
Andres is currently part of the Rural Training Track at Swedish Cherry Hill and, coming from a small town, he hopes to eventually practice medicine in a similar community setting. His clinical interests include comprehensive OB, procedures, wound care, and medicine in low-resource environments.
Outside of the clinic and hospital, he enjoys woodworking/DIY projects, PC gaming, SCUBA diving, language learning, and is constantly on the hunt for the best ramen spot wherever he is.
