Meet our hometown hero
Drew served in the U.S. Marine Corps as a machine gunner with the 1st Battalion, 6th Marines. He deployed to Syria in 2017 under Operation Inherent Resolve, took part in a NATO exercise in Latvia in 2018, and served as a Jungle Warfare Instructor in Okinawa, where he was recognized for helping revise part of the course. He was honorably discharged in 2020.
He lives in Haskins, Ohio, with his girlfriend, Stephanie, and their young daughter. In winter their upstairs ran about 20 degrees warmer than the downstairs, so the family leaned on space heaters and heated blankets just to keep the living room, playroom and kitchen comfortable.
