As a graduate of ETSU Bill Gatton College of Pharmacy, Brock received the Miracle Maker award, presented to a single pharmacist who demonstrated exceptional performance, which resulted in saving a patient’s life.

As a pharmacist, promoting the overall health of his patients is the highest priority, and Brock’s experience in pharmacology and patient interaction has proven invaluable as a component of the brand evolution of Novel CBD.
