Drew Blake is the president of Guiding Eyes Outdoors, a foundation dedicated to giving the blind, disabled, military veterans, first responders, and children who have lost parents in service to our country and their communities the opportunity to explore the outdoors. With a long family history of hunting and fishing, Drew knows where to take anglers and hunters to places where they will have the fullest experience possible. Even his full-time job as an environmental officer keeps Drew immersed in the great outdoors where he hopes to bring his boys up with the same passion he has.
