Drew is a third-generation Ohio State Buckeye graduating in 2002 with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and minor in Business. He’s a lifelong learner, avid reader, and holds many financial services licenses and designations. In 2020, Drew earned his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation through the accelerated CFP® program offered through Northwestern University School of Professional Studies. Drew also serves as a board member for 24-7 Commitment Foundation (parent company of FirefighterWife.com).
Drew began his career in financial services in 2003 as a financial advisor with Waddell & Reed in Dublin, OH. In 2010, he helped found an independent, fee-based Registered Investment Advisor focused on serving the financial and retirement needs of first responders and their families. Since 2016, he moved to LPL Financial and associated with CME Federal Credit Union to help deliver their financial services program. Drawing extensively from his near two decade career, he is considered by many as one of a few experienced professionals in the State of Ohio public employee retirement systems and deferred compensation savings programs.
Drew lives in Olde Worthington, Ohio with his wife Johanna and their two daughters, Lena and Elise. He came to the conclusion years ago that he’s to old to play competitive sports, so he instead enjoys adventuring and basking in other cultures- frequently visiting family and friends in Europe and the western United States.
