Personal Anchors

Drew’s roots lie in the birthplace of America, Williamsburg, Virginia where he worked from a young age in every manner of restaurant and mom-and-pop business. He recalls getting his first taste of the demands and rewards of small business entrepreneurialism while working in his parent’s small racquet sports store stocking shelves and greeting customers at the age of 14.

Both of his parents were educators, business owners, and in his father’s case, also a high-level D1 coach. Drew acknowledges the positive impact and inspiration gleaned from growing up as a “coach’s kid” during his father’s 20-year stint at the helm of William & Mary’s men’s tennis team.
