Drew’s heart and passion is working to connect
people from the U.S. with the Spirit’s movement through Young Life’s ministry
across the continent of Africa. After graduating from University of
Virginia in 2003 with a degree in Economics and Religion, Drew worked on
Property Staff at Frontier Ranch in Colorado before returning home to
Atlanta. After spending a couple of
years on Field Staff with Young Life Northwest Atlanta, he began working
full-time to grow and develop Young Life Africa Expeditions. Since his very
first trip to Africa in 2005 with his family, Drew has recruited and led more
than 30-35 YLX Trips, serving in 10 different Countries alongside Young Life
Africa national staff and leaders. Those
Trips include hosting various safari adventures and leading 13 Mount
Kilimanjaro Climbs, a 7-day 64-mile wilderness trek to the roof of the
continent at 19,430 feet.
Drew recently married his amazing wife Melissa, pictured above with Drew on Kilimanjaro during a Trip to Tanzania in 2013. If you ask him, Drew will tell you that Melissa is the greatest gift the Lord’s ever blessed him with in His life, and that they couldn’t possibly be more excited about doing life together.
