Drew was born and raised in Charleston, SC and grew up as the grandson to a master carver on one side, and a retired Navy veteran on another. Art, design, and patriotism has been in his blood for his whole life, but it wasn’t until later in life when he began to channel these passions in to one location ~ American South Designs. As a designer and woodworker, it only made sense to dive in to the world of CNC. He loves creating designs for others to create their own pieces of art. His other passions include his wife and kids. They enjoy camping and spending time in nature together. Thank you for supporting American South Designs LLC and supporting a small town business. Much Love!

As a woodworker, CNC was supposed to make things easier … a lot of firewood later determined that wasn’t the case, initially. Making wooden signs and flags for extra income led to making custom designs for others to make products with their CNC, then eventually designs for Glowforge and Cricut users. A great customer base continues the drive to create more designs. Mike is a United States Marine Corps veteran, former police officer, has owned/operated his DJ Service for the last 14 years, as well as owns/operates his CNC and Woodworking business. He also works full-time running the finish shop at a custom Amish Furniture distributor in Illinois.
