Dr. Tim Cummins

Dr. Tim Cummins/Infinity Wellness Center

Dr. Tim Cummins has been in the health and wellness space since 1992. Earned his bachelor’s degree in sports medicine and then continued on to chiropractic school where he graduated with honors in 1999. After establishing a successful family practice, Dr. Cummins dove into research and studying the chronic health issues plaguing the United States. After advanced study and training in the areas of corrective care chiropractic, nutritional needs, detoxification, mindset/mental stressors and the need for applicable exercise and movement, he has determined that the chronic health crisis we are seeing today is a result of people neglecting one or more of those essential areas.

Ashley & Jacqui Derrick

Ashley Derrick & Jacqui Derrick/Workright, LLC

The Drug Lady is an important team member for any business wishing to create or maintain a Drug Free Workplace. Our “Drug Lady” is powered by two amazing ladies- a mother-daughter team who have been working together for almost 30 years. Jacqui Derrick developed the original Drugs Don’t Work program in Georgia back in 1994 shortly after the Drug Free Workplace Act was signed into law. Since then, she’s helped hundreds of business owners across the southeast implement and maintain their Drug Free Workplace programs. You can ask anyone- she’s the Original Drug Lady. In 2003 she recognized the need for a dedicated drug testing facility in the Atlanta area to serve employers. We’ve been managing that facility ever since. Her daughter, Ashley, stood no chance. Ashley started helping Jacqui with office work and creating training programs for younger audiences as a teenager. The two became a staple in the industry, working together to help their clients navigate difficult situations, interpret results, assisting with policy creation and management, and educating teams on how drugs can affect a person as well as their livelihood and those around them. If you’ve got a question, chances are they’ve seen it and have the answer. And if you’ve got a story to tell, even better!

A woman owned and operated small business located in the Atlanta Metro Area specializing in creating and managing Drug-Free Workplace programs for employers. Started in 1999, Workright opened their own testing facility in 2003. They strive to provide their clients with a one stop shop for all their substance abuse program questions and concerns.

Communication, education and safety above all!

Matt McCue

Junk South is the premier full service junk removal & roll-off dumpster rental company in Athens, Georgia committed to community betterment through a hands-on approach as well as protection of the environment through mindful collection, sorting and diversion services.

Junk South, a division of Athena Enterprises, LLC, has been helping residents and businesses become junk free since 2011. Offering full-service junk removal and roll-off dumpster rentals, Junk South is here to help. Whether it’s a pile of household junk in the garage or a warehouse full of office furnishings, Junk South removes it for you, making the ordinary business of junk removal exceptional.

In the beginning, a company was born out of the simple idea of helping others regain space (and peace of mind). It was the year 2011 and Chris Caswall, a UGA double-dawg, launched Junk South Junk Removal. With just a truck and trailer, we began making its rounds throughout Athens.

In these early days, as a way to honor our love and commitment to the Athens community, Junk South split time between volunteering its equipment and manpower to help causes such as the Athens Area Homeless Shelter, Habitat for Humanity, American Red Cross, Salvation Army, Food Bank of Northeast GA, Keep Athens Clarke County Beautiful and the Athens Emergency Food Bank. It was during this time that Junk South established its mission “To serve our community through responsible junk removals that protect our environment and empower fellow citizens”.
