Meet our founder, Dr. Tripp Morgan
If you had told Dr. Tripp Morgan twenty years ago that he was to be the founder of Albany’s Pretoria Fields Collective, he might have smiled and told you that this wonderful and wild idea didn’t exactly fit into his plans.
Dream it
As a fifth-generation Georgian, Tripp grew up on farmlands in Camilla immersed in agriculture. His appreciation for the rich landscape of the South was instilled at a young age, but he followed in his father’s footsteps to study medicine and graduated from the University of Georgia College of Pharmacy in 1997. Dr. Morgan worked briefly as a pharmacist before attending the Mercer University School of Medicine, from which he graduated in 2001.
Build it
With an interest in craft beer, he enjoyed home brewing while in school. However, between starting a family and a medical practice, any opportunities to spend a full day crafting beer in his garage ceased to present themselves. After completing his surgical residency and a two year Vascular Surgery Fellowship, he developed the Albany Vascular Specialist Center.
