Andy is the marketing lead for drug safety and regulatory compliance at IQVIA, a leading global provider of analytics, technology solutions, and clinical research services to the life sciences industry.
At the age of 44, Andy suffered a massive ischemic stroke and was airlifted to Duke Hospital, where a new treatment (thrombectomy) removed two blood clots that had restricted blood flow to just half of his brain. After just a few days in the ICU, Andy made a miraculous recovery, walked out of Duke unassisted, and resumed normal activities. Since then, Andy has passionately supported TAP and is also an ambassador for the American Stroke Association. He is the author of the Amazon bestseller Optimize Your Heart: A practical guide to lowering your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
Originally from England, Andy is a proud US citizen and has lived in Raleigh with his native NC wife for 25 years. Andy enjoys playing tennis, taking daily walks, playing music, watching Carolina Hurricanes hockey, and traveling.
