After earning his associate's degree in accounting and bachelor's degree in business administration, with a major in marketing, he worked as a human-resources manager for 10 years, in the industry of high-volume retail. "As a human-resources manager, I learned how to ‘listen between the lines' so as to understand what is truly important to the person I'm speaking with," he says. "I also learned how to ask questions in a way that gets me the answers I need." Before becoming a Realtor, Drew moved several times, living in various apartments and eventually buying a house in Houston. "I always enjoyed my search for the perfect place," he says. "I knew I'd enjoy assisting others with their home searches."The majority of Drew's business is repeat and referral clients. "People refer me to their friends and come back to me because I'm not a high-pressure salesperson," he says.

Drew's experience and knowledge in the residential leasing market, including both privately owned properties and corporate-owned apartment complexes, is unsurpassed.  "I can truthfully tell my clients that ‘leasing is my top priority,' he says. "I take the time to constantly preview and revisit properties, affording me the knowledge of favorable and unfavorable property management and maintenance."When Drew isn't working, he enjoys taking advantage of all the great restaurants Houston has to offer. "I love the fact that Houston has some of the best chefs in the world," he says. He is a self proclaimed “foodie” and makes it a point to try out at least one new restaurant every week.
