    We hired Drew to support our school-based Youth Drug Survey. In contrast to prior evaluators we've worked with, Drew was easy to work with and responsive to our questions, tailoring his analysis of the data to our organization's needs and goals. We now have the information we need in a simple and straightforward report that will help our community make data-driven decisions in youth substance use prevention.

    Drew has been amazing to work with as we were in the planning stages of opening a new free counseling center. Through his assistance with performance measures and other grant narrative, MHA was able to secure a $1.25 million grant to create the center….Drew is someone who listens to the issues and tries to respond with realistic solutions that fit our needs. I would recommend him to anyone who is seeking services around data and other nonprofit needs!
