Jeffrey Stewart, better known to many as “DreamMission Stu,” is a hometown guy from Tacoma, Washington with a big heart and an even bigger mission. He’s the kind of person who wears a few hats—dentist, humanitarian, dad, and grandpa—and wears them all with purpose.

Jeff grew up in North Tacoma, attending Downing Elementary, Mason and Truman Middle Schools, and graduating from Wilson High. He went on to study at Washington State University, where he earned a degree in science before heading to the University of Washington for dental school. For over 30 years, Jeff has been helping people smile at his own practice, Westgate Dental, right in his hometown. Patients know him for his easy going nature, gentle care, and genuine love for connecting with people. He’s not just your typical dentist—he truly makes you feel at home in the chair.

In 2010, Jeff followed his heart and started the DreamMissions Foundation—a nonprofit that supports kids in orphanages around the world. Whether it’s building roads in Cuba or delivering supplies and hope in remote villages, Jeff believes everyone deserves love, dignity, and opportunity.

Jeff’s life is all about lifting others up, whether that’s in the dental chair or across the globe. His motto? Dream big—and then do something about it.
