Kaitie Moore Underwood

Drew's keen focus on bottom line results never kept him from also considering the human element to business. He has a proven knack for being a great leader to a number of widely different personality types. You can always count on Drew to be positive, polished and professional.

Kyle Davis

Drew is a pleasure to work with. He has an agreeable and friendly personality and goes above and beyond what is needed to find answers to difficult questions. He works hard to make sure both the client and the hotel are in a win-win arrangement. He is an asset to both the W brand and to Starwood as well.
