Drew and Ashley are natives of the Greenville area and have lived there since college. They have two boys and a dog named Reese. Ashley currently stays home to raise the boys and hopes to reenter the HR recruiting field she left several years ago to start a family. As a family, they enjoy traveling, hiking, and being outside. Drew loves to be outdoors, whether it be backpacking, camping, hunting, or cycling. His most recent side project is restoring his 1973 Ford Bronco.
