Born and raised in beautiful Boulder, Colorado, Drew is a contributor to Nugg Love who was in the building the night the Nuggets won the '23 title. He has written about NBA basketball and college football for almost a decade across several outlets, including a prior stint with Nugg Love in 2016 — before Nikola Jokić became a three-time MVP and the best basketball player on the planet. When he's not cheering on the Nuggets, Broncos, Avs, or Nebraska Cornhuskers (I know, I know), you can find him getting down to live music at Red Rocks or another local venue, grooving to anything from hip-hop to jazz to electronic.
