About Our Team

Sandy Kauten, Owner/Publisher

Sandy, a single mom, moved to Eugene in 2000 to attend Dental Hygiene School - and picked up a copy of the former "Oregon Family Calendar" publication at a local retailer. Her entrepreneurial spirit got the best of her, and before she knew it, she was a newspaper owner and publisher! So much for hygiene school! Sandy renamed the publication Oregon Family and focused her efforts on creating comprehensive resource for parents and families. With only six months at the helm, commercial circulation more than doubled, a complete overhaul to editorial was made, and a website launched. At 28 years STRONG, Oregon Family's growth and readership remain a source of pride for Sandy and her team. Her advertisers are “family” and she is devoted to creating a place where "Community and Families Come Together"...

Christi Kessler, Advertising Account Executive

Chloe joined our team in 2013 as a sweet 8-week old bundle of JOY.  In her early days, Chloe literally sunk her teeth into the job (retriever puppies will eat absolutely ANYTHING!).  She has very big shoes to fill from her predecessor, Lady.  Lucy, our ambitious Golden Doodle joined our team in April 2016  She has motivated and brightens our office every day.  These two can often be found riding shotgun on appointments, have a strong Facebook following and continue to be one of our greatest assets. They volunteer their time here and at home, never complain, and are both very high-energy contributors.  (We are deeply saddened that Chloe crossed over Rainbow Bridge in Jan 2020, but she will remain in our hearts and here with Lucy in spirit.)
