Upon obtaining her nursing degree from Arizona State University, Ashley dedicated numerous hours working across the United States as a travel nurse.

Her goal was to create a community that revolved around vitality and self-care as key components to leading a healthy and happy lifestyle. In 2016, she founded Vega Vitality.

Andy is excited to partner with Ashley and Abby to help build Vega Vitality's third location in Cary, NC, and expand the practice to the Research Triangle. Andy is the Medical Director of Vega Fenton and Vega Wellness (NC.)

Andy and Ashley's friendship predates the founding of Vega Vitality. In 2016, shortly after the opening of Vega, Ashley married Andrew’s close childhood friend (he was the best man at their wedding!). The practice's growth has been incredible to witness, and the patient response is amazing. Over the years, there has been much discussion about the possibility of bringing Vega Vitality to North Carolina. Stars finally aligned in 2023 as the decision was made to expand Vega geographically and philosophically. The newest location in Fenton will be Vega Vitality's first presence in North Carolina, bringing a new holistic approach to health and wellness.

Andy has maintained board certification in Internal Medicine since 2014. He is a Philadelphia native who completed his undergraduate training at Duke University before returning to Philly for medical school at Drexel University. He completed his Internal Medicine residency at the University of North Carolina (UNC) in 2014 and subsequently stayed on as clinical faculty, where he continues to practice. He was promoted to Associate Professor of Medicine in 2022. In addition to direct patient care, his responsibilities include leadership roles in clinical operations and patient access.

Andrew’s experience at a large academic institution like UNC gives him a broad perspective on patients' general condition. He is enthusiastic about Vega Vitality because it offers the opportunity to use the most novel medications and medical devices to restore a patient's energy, vigor, and confidence. With over a decade of patient care experience, Andy intends for Vega Wellness to be a thorough and supportive path to helping patients reach their goals.

Andy resides in Durham with his wife, sons Sam and Wes, and his dog, Jackson.
