About Drew
From the Classroom to the Studio
My career began in the mid-1970s with a simple electronics kit — sparking a lifelong dedication to technology and resourcefulness. That curiosity evolved into a career spanning computers, photography, publishing, design, and video production.
After 30 years as a public school educator — including 19 years teaching digital photography — I’m now focused on professional media production and digital content creation.
Whether you’re here to book real estate media services, master manual camera exposure, or browse field-tested project workflows, this site is your directory of educator-vetted guidance.
