Drew currently serves as Associate Director of Operations at KVC Niles, where he oversees the day-to-day functions that help keep the facility running effectively and safely.

Drew first joined KVC in 2018 on the foster care case management team in Kansas before transitioning to careers in being an EMT, foster care case manager, psychiatric treatment staff, QRTP shift supervisor and PRTF program manager. After working in and managing YRCII, QRTP and PRTF youth facilities, Drew returned to KVC Missouri in 2026 and has taken on increasing responsibilities. He now manages building operations including reception, kitchen services, facilities, compliance, regulatory standards, grant oversight and serves on the region’s safety committee.

Drew holds a degree in Psychology with honors from the University of Kansas, where he received recognition for global awareness, community research, and leadership. With a passion for giving back to the community, Drew has served as President of the Kappa Sigma community service program and was a member of the organization’s board. He has also volunteered as a legal Educational Advocate since 2016; attending IEP progress meetings and developing and writing yearly specialized learning plans for youth with educational disabilities and behavioral difficulties.

Known for his practical, direct and hands-on leadership style, Drew focuses on building strong systems, supporting staff and ensuring a safe and structured environment for both employees and the individuals KVC serves.

Outside of work, Drew enjoys spending time with his wife and young son, traveling, fly fishing, collecting vinyl records and taking long walks with his Cane Corso, Cleo.

“I wanted to return to KVC because I wanted my work to matter and knew that KVC empowered their employees to do so. Helping children feel safe, supported and valued is more than a job to me; it is a responsibility and a passion. Every child deserves someone willing to fight for their future despite the challenges they have faced. I believe that although our kids do not get to choose the circumstances they are born into, adults can choose whether they show up for them.”
