Drew has served as a college instructor for psychology and substance abuse classes both in the traditional classroom and online. He is constantly amazed by the power of the human spirit to make change for the better. He considers it an honor to work alongside people while they share their innermost thoughts and fears and to share their triumphs and tragedies on their life's journey.
