Trapper Drew

Owner & Wildlife Control Operator

From a young age, Drew enjoyed all things outdoors: hunting, fishing, and trapping. His passions and interests led him to Hocking College, where he graduated with a degree in Natural Resources Law Enforcement. After seeing how other wildlife control companies provided services, Drew knew he could deliver top-quality wildlife and pest services that were reliable, fair, and humane. He takes the utmost pride in the company, team, and reputation that AWC has built.


Drew’s greatest joys in life are his wife and children. Together, they enjoy spending time at their camper, hunting, fishing, and hiking at local parks. They also love attending local fairs and festivals.
