Andrew is motivated to build a better healthcare system. He grew up watching his family be consumed by a large monopolistic health system that did not lower healthcare costs in his hometown. He refuses to accept this is the best approach to our collective well-being.
He has been a mental health patient for many years, with a rough start after his first inpatient stay, being encouraged to give up on his dreams in life. He spent many years struggling, searching for the right care provider. He founded Kemet Health with his best friend to improve mental healthcare for everyone, and ensure nobody else struggled in this way again.
He previously co-founded an opioid addiction clinic in Kentucky which continues to help thousands of struggling individuals access necessary care through the Medicaid system, where few options are available.
He enjoys nontraditional approaches to wellness, psychoanalysis, and the spirit of entrepreneurship. He believes that knowing yourself deeply, finding your people, and following your intuition through life is the most powerful force in the world.
"If the system is corrupt then the people who adhere to the system... are not criminals. They are victims. And the system itself must be tried.” – Dave Chapelle
