|Personal History: Drew grew up in the coastal town of Port Issac in Cornwall. It was a sleepy little town nestled in the English countryside where the most exciting thing to usually happen was when the catch of the day came in. Drew had an unremarkable childhood, it was normal until the fateful day when he was 13 that his best friend Ben had almost died. It had begun like any other day for Drew he had gotten up and had breakfast with his Mum and Dad and went to meet Ben to go out on a small sail boat. It was long after they had left the protective cliff walls of the harbor that a rogue wave had hit their vessel and it capsized. Drew was treading water and couldn't see Ben, he was trapped somewhere underneath the boat. Luckily a nearby fishing boat noticed the commotion and came to their aid.

The next year Drew had taken a keen interest in the sciences and his father had introduced him to an old family friend who was a Chief Science Officer during the Borg invasion that resulted in the loss of Starbase 1. Drew was impressed with what this officer had done and wanted to join Starfleet as a result.

High school was tougher for Drew than for the other kids, his latent empathic abilities revealed itself during the onset of puberty and at first it was hard blocking out the emotions, his mother who was 1/2 Betazoid on her father's side taught Drew meditation techniques on how to block out the emotions of others around him. He also found that with some effort he could communicate with others that had similar latent telepathic abilities/full telepathic abilities.

The rest of his time at high school proceeded without much incidence, Drew passed his A levels and was accepted into Star Fleet Academy. Drew made several new friends during his tenure at the Academy, one that particularly stood out to Drew was Elise Meridian. She was vision of lovely, wrapped in beautiful package. Elise was 2 years ahead of Drew in the Academy. While Drew was a fan of the general sciences, it was Elise who suggested that Drew might like to specialize in Astro-Physics.
