Drew has love for all facets of the production process. You’ll often find him working behind the camera and then jumping straight into the edit suite. It’s this kind of versatility that has led to him to directing seven seasons of a hunting and fishing show (“Best of Bull Run”) to questioning Jason Priestley on a ghost hunt (behind the scenes of “Haven”). Drew has seen and done a little bit of everything and has the skills to prove it.

A graduate from The Center for Arts and Technology with a degree in Digital Film, Drew has worked on a multitude of international and local projects such as, Hope For Wildlife, National Geographic’s “Deadly Journeys of the Apostles”, Smithsonian’s “Canada Over the Edge”, Love Nature’s “Wild Wild East”, and Amazon Prime’s “Clay’s P.O.V.”.  With his love for music, Drew has helped create music videos for bands like Matt Mays, The Stanfields, and Zach Crose making him a versatile asset to the team.

When he’s not behind a screen, you can find him playing guitar, selling his portraits, or combing the beach with his metal detector looking for that one big find to help finance his next film project.
