As part of Millwood’s Lumber Sourcing team, Drew plays a key role in purchasing lumber for Millwood’s mills to ensure they maintain the inventory needed to operate efficiently. He also sources lumber for external customers, balancing cost, quality and delivery to meet each partner’s needs. Drew’s work helps strengthen Millwood’s supply chain while supporting the company’s mission to serve with integrity and excellence.

Before joining Millwood, Drew spent more than a decade with UPS in management roles. While he valued the experience and skills gained during his time there, the pace eventually took its toll. A Millwood employee shared his own experience of Millwood’s culture and values and thought Drew would be a strong fit. After meeting the team and interviewing, Drew joined Millwood in January 2025 and immediately felt at home.

For Drew, what stands out most about Millwood is the company’s emphasis on doing what’s right. “We’re encouraged to do the right thing,” he says. “Not just what’s best for the bottom line, but the honorable thing. I like the ethics that this company has and encourages.” That philosophy guides how Drew approaches his work with customers and colleagues alike.

Drew’s primary customer is an Austrian-owned company with its North American headquarters in Ohio. Millwood’s Apple Creek operation cuts and builds all of their materials, and Drew plays an essential role in keeping that partnership running smoothly.

He attributes much of his growth to the strong leadership around him. “I’m blessed to have fantastic leadership in my office,” he says. “Our managers lead by example and are always glad to lend a hand.”

Outside of work, he spends much of his free time coaching his sons’ flag football and basketball teams and working with Bexley Youth Tackle Football. He’s also an avid, though self-proclaimed “poor,” golfer and a passionate fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Kentucky Wildcats.
