Chief Operating Officer
MARSfarm
Participates in 5 items
The majority of Drew’s life in the last few years have centered on bringing the practical art of doing to his whimsical pastime of dreaming about the future. This is mostly a way to justify spending all of his disposable income on tools. Professionally, he comes from a background of technical design and manufacturing. Since attending engineering school, he has spent several years programming and running CNC machines in the aerospace industry, as well as consulting for startup product manufacturers. Besides his professional experience with metals, his hobbies mix in woodworking, composites, plastics, and sometimes circuits. His motivation for co-founding MARSfarm comes from his longtime obsession with space colonization. Mix this with his interest in manufacturing imparted by his father, and his love of horticulture inspired by his mother, and it is easy to see that his role in this mission has been building for a lifetime. In his free time, his latest project has been diving into making everything a smart home device. “Alexa, please write me a bio”.
