Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Drew spends his summers guiding in glacial and alpine terrain at home and in Alaska. Winters have taken him to Ouray, Colorado and Hokkaido, Japan exploring these vast mountain ranges while working as an ice climbing and splitboard guide. Drew comes ready to share his love and passion for mountainous environments with climbers and skiers at every level. When not moving through the mountains, Drew finds the balance by spending time working as an ER social worker, in private Emergency Medical Services, and as a Volunteer Firefighter. Drew maintains a Leave No Trace trainer certificate, National and State EMT licenses, Community Health Worker License, Canadian Avalanche Safety Training 1, and AAA Professional 1 certificate.
