Born and raised in the Antioch neighborhood southeast of downtown Nashville, Drew has spent his life exploring the neighborhoods, stories, and flavors that make Middle Tennessee unique. Today, he shares that passion with visitors and locals through engaging food and history tours in both Nashville and Franklin. Before putting his knowledge to use as a guide, Drew spent 12 years teaching and coaching public speaking at the university level, including leading teams to national speech & debate championships. That background shapes the way he leads tours today—every experience is designed to be engaging, informative, and memorable. Drew first began guiding tours as a part-time job with Local Tastes of Nashville and Ghost City Tours. What started as a side gig quickly became a passion. Drew’s extensive public speaking experience helped him establish connections with local businesses and his many guests (who have left dozens of five star reviews!). His goal is simple: create tours that feel less like scripted attractions and more like exploring Nashville with a knowledgeable local friend.
