Drew in real life

What makes you tick?

I grew up in the Denver metro area and my parents instilled the values of faith, family, and work ethic from a young age.

What keeps you busy outside of work?

Being a native Coloradan, I love our mountains. You can find me there in all seasons, skiing, hiking, and trail running. In 2025, I completed the legendary Leadville 100-mile trail run.

How do you give back?

Being an engaged member of my community has always been important to me. I enjoy serving at my local food bank and church.
