He enlisted into the Army directly out of high school upon graduating in 2000, and served for four years on active duty as a field artillery soldier and a subsequent two years in the Vermont National Guard in medical administration. Drew went to Iraq in 2003 as a part of the second wave of the invasion. Since then he has completed his B.S. in Forestry from the University of Vermont and transitioned into a paper and book artist based in San Francisco, CA. Drew is a founding member of Warrior Writers, director of the Combat Paper Project, and continues to teach, practice and learn new forums for his craft of hand papermaking.

His love for paperworks began as a teen but was rekindled under the mentorship of Drew Matott in 2004 at the Green Door Studio Artist Collective in Burlington, VT. Drew was the managing director of Green Door from 2006-10, co-founder of Combat Paper in 2007 and partner in the Peoples Republic of Paper, LLC.

His current and ongoing work with Combat Paper and as a partner in the Shotwell Paper Mill in San Francisco is practicing and teaching the art and craft of hand papermaking and encouraging others to do the same.
