Occupation: SVP, Director of Strategic Data & Information Management @ OceanFirst Bank

Personal: 
Drew grew up in Hazlet, NJ, and after working for the United States Government in Washington D.C., he moved to Fair Haven in 2020 with his wife Maggie and two kids Drew Jr. and Mila. Since moving to town, Drew was head coach for the 2021/2022 Fair Haven Diamonds 7U travel baseball team, an active parishioner at the Church of the Nativity, where he also leads a Bible Study Group, and a member of Fair Haven’s Zoning Board of Adjustment.

With the local nature of the Borough Council candidacy in mind, Drew’s approach is to value three core principles: (1) truth and accuracy, (2) active listening to the community, and (3) responsibility and accountability. He believes it is paramount to actively listen to all constituents, including those who are passionate about issues. From a common ground of empathy, one can bridge disparate points of view.
