  • Nicholas Gremminger

    Owner-Head of Business Development
    Nicholas Gremminger has been serving health care providers in Montgomery and Bucks County for almost 10 years. Originally working in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, Nick has an extensive knowledge in treating many of the key diseases, that require home care and skilled nursing. While Nick has worked with local physicians and facilities on things such as central nervous system disorders, brain tumors, to chronic pain his passion for patients comes from his personal experience. Nick's grandfather suffered from severe Alzheimer's causing his family to learn the struggles that can come from finding good care that involves assisted living, home care, and eventually hospice. At the time the experience inspired Nick's mother to join the hospice industry and now Nick has found his opportunity to contribute as well! When Nick is not working, he is working out or caring for his recently born baby boy. 

  • Alex Katz

    Owner- Head of Business Operations
    Born right here in Bucks County and seeing first-hand the positive impact BrightStar Care services had provided for his own family, Alex is now fortunate to serve this same community as co-owner of BrightStar Care of South Bucks & Southeast Montgomery Counties. Alex has a background in financial services, management, HR/Recruiting and sales, Alex is tasked with leading the day-to-day operations of our agency. Prior to BrightStar Care, Alex spent 6 years at one of the nation's leading insurance carriers, helping educate Financial Planners and their clients on the importance of proper planning and utilization of Long-Term Care insurance and Life insurance. Alex will be quick to share how grateful he is to be led by both the agency's office staff and all of our amazing caregivers and nurses in the field as they were just humbly recognized by the top home healthcare rating agency (HomeCare Pulse) as one of the Top 100 Home Care agencies in all of North America (#57th to be exact)! When not working, you can find Alex trying new restaurants with his wife, Katy (who is a RN/BSN at Lankanau Hospital and equally a big foodie), spending quality time with friends and family locally and down the Jersey Shore, or staying active through sports!

    Branch Manager/LPN
    Hello, my name is Toni Puzo. I've been with BrightStar Care since 2012.  I began with BrightStar as a Licensed Practical Nurse covering skilled and non-skilled cases with clients in their homes.  Over the years, I have been employed in many different roles within BrightStar Care including Field Nurse, Nurse Case Manager, Nurse Supervisor, and currently Branch Manager.

  • Ashley Weaver

    HR Administrator
    Born in North Carolina but raised in West Philadelphia, Ashley has always had a heart for people since a very young age. Ashley has had the pleasure of serving families and clients/patients for over 17 years as a CNA, Chaplain and CNA Supervisor. Over the years Ashley has served in other countries to promote healthier living and to spread love and compassion to people in need. Being able to provide care is an honor and a privilege, that Ashley would not trade for the world. Ashley made the decision to come out of the field to provide that same level of care to our employees and office staff. When Ashley has free time, you can find her singing, reading, study, or teaching! But the best part of Ashley's life is spending time with her four children (Brandi, Nia, Jaida, Trey).
