Matthew was born and raised here in Austin, Texas.  Growing up he spent most of his time outdoors exploring all the natural beauty the area has to offer.  An avid trail runner, he believes that regular outside activity is a key component to health and happiness.  That, and dogs.

A bit of a towny, Matthew earned both a pharmacy and a law degree from the University of Texas at Austin.  He has over twenty years of community pharmacy experience and learned long ago that it is more rewarding to embrace one's curiosity as a part of the creative process than to “count by five” as the saying goes.  Compounding allows him to collaborate with prescribers and to customize therapies that meet the individual needs of patients.  Matthew has been a member of the Alive and Well team since 2021 and looks forward to many years of hopefully empowering and elevating human health.

He enjoys one-on-one interactions with patients and clients, helping them reach their health and life goals not only through conventional pharmacy but natural treatments as well.

Marco has lived in Austin since 2009 and lives with his partner, a cat, and two lovable dogs Concord and Gizmo that frequent Alive + Well. In his free time, Marco enjoys spending time with friends and family as well as traveling as frequently as possible.

Jeremy hails from Nashville Tennessee and graduated from the University of Tennessee with a B.S. in Agricultural Economics. He entered his professional career in technology sales with Austin based Dell Computer in Nashville. Coincidentally, another Austin based company, Architectural Granite and Marble (AG&M) picked him off to cultivate outside sales in its new branch office in Nashville, and he rose to become the office’s General Manager in under two years. Monthly management meetings at the AG&M headquarters in Bee Cave cultivated a fondness for Austin 20 years ago. During this period he also met Michael Swail. (foreshadowing)

Jeremy was recruited by his father Jack to join his corporate wellness startup, Corporate Health Partners (CHP), in 2005. Otherwise completely content at AG&M, the chance to help improve health for employees while growing a start-up with his father was an offer he couldn’t pass up. For fourteen years he focused on the employer workplace "group health" space, working with C-suites and group benefit managers in 15 states to empower employees, while improving the bottom line for employers. In 2020, CHP was large and stable enough for Jeremy to once again break away for a new challenge.  

At long last and after reconnecting with Michael Swail, Jeremy finally had the opportunity to move his family to Austin to continue the pursuit of health and wellbeing in a vibrant new setting. He brings his valuable understanding of the U.S. health care system, its benefits and flaws, and is applying them in the Texas community to help improve human health, patient access, and provider efficiency in the V.P. of Business Development role at Alive + Well.  

When he's not chipping away with associates at Alive + Well to perfect an unrivaled healthcare experience, you can find him with his like-minded health-inspired wife and newborn, exploring trails in Texas hill country, playing golf, practicing yoga, doing HIIT workouts, reading or cooking at home.

Holly has been a technician for 10 years working in long term care, retail, hospital, and home infusion pharmacy. She found her home at Alive + Well first in 2016 and then again in 2020 after a year working in home infusion pharmacy.

In her spare time with my family, friends and kiddos, she enjoys being in nature, going on hikes, floating the river or soaking in the sun on the coast. If she's not outside you can find her watching documentaries, reading, and trying to soak in any new information to try and broaden her views on life.
