Mark Drew is a graduate of the University of Tennessee with a bachelor of science in engineering. Upon graduation, he moved to southwest Florida to pursue work in the areas of site planning and design. After 4 years of site planning and another 3 years of site engineering work on the Southwest Florida Water Reclamation Facility expansion project, Mr. Drew chose to pursue a new career path in teaching. With grand visions of changing the world he currently teaches engineering and design at Ida Baker High School. Having three daughters of his own; his passion for development evolved
from not only wanting to build things, but build up people as well. In this time, he has performed the role of engineering instructor, coach and mentor at the high school and middle school grade levels. Without a formal background in education, his primary strategy has been to look for teachable moments while always leading with his heart. Whether working with students or fellow staff, his goal is to assist others in achieving their dreams. As owner/manager of DrewPrints, LLC.; Mark Drew utilizes his engineering design skills in a similar way bringing visions to life. In addition, he uses this pursuit to show his students the real-world application of the software and systems they learn about in the classroom. Along the way, Mr. Drew has become a golden apple teacher in the district and a strong advocate for the academic community. With a background in the performing arts, he uses the power of words to touch hearts and transform lives. Mark lives by the mantra “seeing isn’t believing, believing is seeing” and is committed to the mission of helping others see their dreams become a reality.
