Drew grew up in Sevierville, TN, and attended college at Tennessee Wesleyan College (now University) where he received his BS in Church Vocations. He moved to Chattanooga in 2015 to join the Signal Crest Team. In 2021, Drew received a Masters in Christian Practice from Duke Divinity School. When Drew isn’t hanging out with the youth, you can find him spending time with his wife, Kaitlyn and their dog, Banjo. He also enjoys coaching baseball at Howard High School, eating 517 subs, running, golfing, playing pickleball or watching his favorite sport teams: the Duke Blue Devils and the Atlanta Braves. Drew’s favorite part about youth ministry is seeing students take ownership of their faith and are excited to pursue God.
