U.S. Navy Veteran Drew Blandford-Williams believes in living a complete life--or as Thoreau wrote, "To Live Deliberately." To that end, maintaining a healthy balance between Public Virtue and Self-preservation is how Drew has had to learn to get from merely surviving an abusive and dysfunctional childhood, to becoming a thriving, happy contributor to society.
Drew loves God, and is grateful for having been father to five daughters. He adores his wife, Sallie, and loves sharing his worldly exploits with her. And he loves his work as a writer, lecturer, educator, and arm-chair philosopher!
While many men approaching the latter half of their life may choose to slow down, Drew believes in maintaining an assertive, dynamic posture without hubris, maintaining a full schedule of work as a leader in cyber security, as an author, student of God's Word, and as a new grandfather to his beloved Carter Thomas (who was born on Drew's birthday).
Drew Williams believes that Society (especially the family unit), needs strong leaders--those who would lead through stewardship and scholarship, and without apologizing for maintaining a firm resolve to choose WHAT is right over Who is right.
Such tenets define and anchor a standard of excellence for others to follow.
At the foundation of Drew's
"Three Pillars of Virtue"

"The Human Condition."
Shakespeare said, "Oh what a piece of work is man, How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an Angel!"

Drew believes that most of us are good by nature, and that there's a value in discovering the Uncommon Self that is within each of us!

A sixth-generation veteran and former Sailor, Drew has spent his adult life in pursuit of interests associated with protecting national security, whether as a writer, a public speaker
or as an information security practitioner.
Drew's third core tenet is centered
around the belief that societies must support free trade, in which economies become dynamic, and foster freedom, opportunity, and prosperity.

Commerce and Free Trade means protecting Fair Trade, and that means looking after the well-being of this nation's 16 Critical Infrastructures, ensuring they provide the United States with the resources to sustain it as a land of exceptionalism.
As California's "Dairy Baby of the Year" in 1961, the abandoned son of an alcoholic father and a wanderlust mother, I grew up between Los Angeles and Detroit, New Orleans and Chicago, St. Louis and San Francisco, and many points in between, attending 15 different schools in 12 years. Moving from one trailer park to the next throughout Southern and Midwest America in the 1960s and ‘70s was no picnic but wow--what a long strange trip it's been!
For "Building Bradshaws" Writer and Executive Producer, Drew Williams, the building industry is a fantastic place to be--from a distance! For Drew, watching his wife, Sallie Bradshaw, and her kids, both, through his lens and from the sidelines, is almost as fun as Saturday morning cartoons. Just don't ask him to jump in and help (he doesn't want to ruin his manicure!).
