Andy Rogers is a physician assistant and founder of My Friend Andy LLC, a production company focused on health education and entertainment. Andy is a graduate of The University of Tennessee and Mercer College of Health Professions. Andy was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (The Beats!) in 2004 and his sister, Kelli, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1998.

Andy and the Beats is a story of hope and encouragement in the face of adversity.
