Born in New Jersey, Drew grew up reading about, and studying the photographs of hot rods, drag cars, and stock cars in the pages of "Hot Rod Magazine".After a stint in the Navy he moved to Southern California to be in the middle of all the action.There he began to hone his photography skills, using a Kodak Instamatic camera at tracks like Orange County International Raceway.By the early ‘80s he had made the move up to 35mm equipment and started to get serious about his craft.After spending a few years shooting whatever races he could talk his way into, Drew sent a letter to "Stock Car Racing Magazine" requesting a photo credential for the upcoming NASCAR Winston Cup race at Riverside.He was accepted and his professional career was under way.
Today Drew shoots 100% digital at a variety of tracks around Tennessee and North Carolina, in addition to taking in as many car shows and rod runs as his busy schedule will allow.Drew and his wife Skye have a 1928 Model A lakes roadster that they enjoy in addition to being active members in the local Mustang club.Drew also builds, photographs, and writes about scale model cars.
