Background
A Minnesota native, Drew grew up with a passion for all sports, having competed in almost every sport, but over time concentrated his efforts towards baseball. He was a competitive gymnast for 8 years and feels that was the best choice his parents could have made for him from an athletic background. Drew is a very ambitious and determined individual and truly believes that quitting is never an option. He attended Trinity University (2004-2008) and graduated with a bachelor’s in business administration, a bachelor’s in Chinese language and a minor in sports administration. He played four years of varsity college baseball at Trinity University in San Antonio, TX before an injury stopped him from playing professionally after college. In April of 2006, he began his CrossFit journey which helped him get where he is today, though his passion for health and wellness started in 2001.
Being a CrossFit coach means more than just coaching to him. He instills those methodologies by “Constantly Varied, Functional Movements, Performed at High-Intensities” to everyone who walks through his door and strives to see them succeed in their own ways. He is constantly driven to learn new fitness techniques and styles, as well as search for up-to-date health and wellness information that he can share with him members.
Drew is an excellent businessman and innovator. He founded his first company Bignall FAST in 2009 and then opened Mission CrossFit San Antonio in 2010. Through organic growth and acquisitions, he has built it into the one of the largest and most successful CrossFit gyms in Texas. His expertise is sought out by gym owners and managers across the country. With over 2 decades of fitness training and operational experience, Drew has learned what it takes to develop, grow, and flourish within the health and fitness profession.
