A Personal Message from Drew:
I have learned that the principles I live by dictates the world I live in. I have been blessed to have three and half decades of extensive strategic and executive management experience in my rearview mirror and it is time to give back. I have come to learn that I make a living based on what I get but I make a life based on what I give.



As I look forward to “Act III” and devoting my full time and resources to Mighty Hero Homes, my experience in Product Development, Business Development, Process Development and People Development will be employed to change the paradigm for those who need a hand up. I have had the honor of leading dynamic teams and organizations to achieve unprecedented results and we are ready to do it again! This, my greatest challenge, will only achieve success through total surrender, unprecedented faith, and absolute obedience.
