It is a privilege to be able to serve my clients in this capacity. I believe God has gifted me with the ability to help young men see the path of integrity and character, not just in their careers, but in every area of their lives. Helping players develop into great men is the most rewarding facet of my work, not going to the game, going on the field, or sitting in the owners box.”Drew is the author of a book titled “First Team Dad: Your Playbook For A Wininning Family”. Drew took the lessons he learned from his involvement in sports and in particular in his dealings with the NFL and applying these lessons to leading a family.Drew will be the first to admit he “out kicked his coverage” when he married the former Layne Teaff, daughter of legendary Hall of Fame Football Coach, Grant Teaff, in 1994.
