- Growing up with a mother who taught food writing, and thus had an inclination to growing organic food, Drew was introduced to the allure of gardening at an early age. During the Spring and Summer months, he would spend hours with her on the weekend laying down mulch and learning various sustainable gardening methods with her guidance.
- He spent most of his childhood in the historical district in his home town of Guilford, Connecticut, where he first fell in love with real estate and architectural design.
- Upon moving to Chicago in 2014, he fell in love with the magnificent architecture of the city, and would frequent architectural tours on the Chicago River to learn more about the magnificent buildings in the city that he now called home.
