Drew was tapped by senior management to lead creation of Digital City's signature product, a 42-city "Local Entertainment Guide," successfully guiding a nationwide team of engineers and city editors through a high-pressure, five-month development timeline. He was presented with the company's annual "Special Achievement Award" and the product later co-won Yahoo!

He started his career in newspapers, working as a journalist at the Philadelphia Inquirer, where his interest in the online medium led him to become the de facto Internet reporter for his bureau.

He holds an MBA degree from Georgetown University and a BA in Journalism from the University of Maryland.</sup>
