Drew
COFOUNDER, OPERATIONS MANAGER
Drew is the proud dad of two beautiful girls and takes on the role of Operations Manager here at Pepper North Artisan Foods. Drew was born in a small town north of the GTA in Ontario, Canada. From a young age, Drew has had a knack for combining interesting ingredients and tasting the nuances often missed in many foods. As a child, his mom would say that “he could tell the milk was going bad days before it actually did”.
After spending over a decade working in an entirely unrelated field, in 2013 he decided to strike out on his own and start Pepper North, returning to his roots and following his passion for growing hot peppers. With each fall harvest, he began crafting various hot sauces and started offering them for sale online and at local farmers markets. Drew holds the distinguished honour of developing each of Pepper Norths’ sauces, and has been known to go through more than 100 test batches before deciding on a final recipe. When he is not packing orders, developing new recipes or interacting with customers on social media, Drew enjoys the outdoors, working with animals and spending quality time with family.
