Drew got to know his Ghoul Capone co-founders Nolen Sternkopf and Nessie Carmilla Stafford in high school where their first effort filmmaking as a trio was a driver’s ed class project. Through their time at school together these three teamed up to produce such micro-budget short films as Night Lights and Hair-Girl, but they were just getting started. Today Drew continues working with his best friends to bring their most ambitious stories yet to life, preparing to make the shift from an emphasis in short films to feature length projects.

In 2021 Drew graduated from Clackamas Community College with an Associate of Applied Science degree in Digital Media Communications and Video Production Technician Certification before continuing his education at Portland State University and graduating cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Film as a student of the class of 2023. While at Portland State University, Drew also founded the PSU Viking Film Festival which provides a welcoming space for current, incoming and alumni students of the school to showcase their projects, celebrate their hard work and make new connections.​
