As Senior Producer of News, Drew works with reporters and anchors on the daily production and presentation of news stories on Capital Public Radio. He also works closely with the station's digital team on news coverage across various online platforms.
 
Prior to coming to Capital Public Radio, Drew was the morning editor at KGO Radio in San Francisco where he was in charge of news for the morning news block (5am-9am). Prior to KGO, Drew covered state government and politics while working at Capitol Television News Service (CTNS) in Sacramento.
