Safe Start Driver Education

Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,

My name is Andrew Sandquist, and I’ll be your student’s driving instructor through Safe Start Driver Education. I wanted to share a little about myself so you know who’s working with your student behind the wheel.

I grew up in Woodbine, Iowa. After high school, I joined the Navy where I served as a hospital corpsman alongside the Marines. After five years of service—including a deployment to Iraq—I returned home, got married, and earned my bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Iowa.

My wife Katie and I live in Harlan with our three boys—Nathan (16), Will (14), and Timothy (11). Our life is full of sports, music, books, and time outdoors. Katie works as a mental health therapist at Myrtue Medical Center, and we both love being part of this community.

I have been driver education since 2013. I also teach science and coach at Harlan Community High School. I’m excited to help your student build strong, safe driving habits that will last a lifetime.

Looking forward to a great session ahead!

Sincerely,

Andrew Sandquist
