Andrea Brinton

Andrea is a Utah-based entrepreneur who builds family-centered businesses and practical systems that help people stay connected and organized. She founded StoryKin, a personalized children's book company, and Smile More Mom, a digital products brand for families. Andrea also manages our rental property business and brings a thoughtful, structured approach to design, planning and small-business development.

Andrea is the seventh of eight girls and loves her family. She was raised in St. George, UT, is a proud graduate of Dixie High School and Dixie State University. At 21 years old, Andrea served an 18-month mission in Bilbao, Spain for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Afterward, she studied economics at Brigham Young University, where she met Tom and they began dating. Tom moved Chicago for his medical training and four months later, Tom and Andrea were married in the St. George, UT temple. While living in Chicago, Andrea worked at Chicago Venture Partners and continued her business education with hands-on application.
Their oldest son was born while they lived in Chicago. They then moved to Rochester, MN where two more boys joined the family. After five years in Minnesota, the young family moved to Kennewick, WA where their last child, a girl, joined the family. Andrea loved everywhere they lived, but when the opportunity arose to move back to St. George and be near her parents and sisters, she was happy to make one more move. Andrea loves being a mother and the adventure and learning that comes with it. Among her favorite things are rainstorms, mountains, chocolate and sunsets. Along with being a mother and running the household, Andrea is the founder of two family-focused small businesses and manages several rental properties. Her hobbies include traveling, project design, hiking, business research, anything with her family, and, most recently, puppy training.
