About
Meet Drew

20+ years of pastoral ministry. A lifetime of learning how to love well.
I've spent over two decades walking alongside families through their highest highs and lowest lows. As a pastor, counselor, and now author, I've seen what builds strong marriages, what shapes resilient kids, and what keeps faith alive when life gets hard.
My approach combines biblical wisdom with practical, real-world tools. I hold a Masters of Divinity with a specialization in family counseling from Asbury Theological Seminary, completed two years of Clinical Pastoral Education, and earned a Family Systems certificate from Southeastern University.
But more than credentials, I'm a husband and father of four who knows the daily challenge of living out what I teach. My family is my greatest classroom.
