Drew, from Temecula, California, quickly became part of the Toolshed alliance in the first week with Angela Murray, Dee Valladares, Rick Devens, Kamu Kirk, Haley Thogmartin, Chuk Anyanwu, and Barrett Pfeiffer. But he also got close to Melody Morris, who is on the other side of the house.
Currently, Drew is on the block, and his alliance members are planning to vote him out after they concluded that they can’t trust him. Will he leave the Big Brother house this week? Get to know Drew outside the game.
Drew’s reality TV past
Before Big Brother, Drew was on Beast Games. The Prime Video series was created by James Donaldson, also known as MrBeast, alongside Tyler Conklin, Sean Klitzner, and Mack Hopkins. MrBeast hosts the competition, where contestants compete in different games and obstacles for $5 million.
According to IMDb, Drew was player 655 and was eliminated in Season 1 Episode 2. He competed against Season 26 Ainsley actress Cosette Rinab.
Drew’s rock ‘n’ roll dad
Drew’s dad is guitarist Buzz Campbell. The songwriter has played with numerous rockabilly acts, including Lee Rocker, Slim Jim Phantom, and Brian Setzer, all original members of the Stray Cats. He also became the lead guitarist for Sha Na Na.
Buzz also founded the group Hot Rod Lincoln, according to his bio. On his Instagram, Buzz encourages his followers to vote for Drew for the Time Capsule.
In 2022, he shared a post with Drew on his Instagram, wishing him a “Happy Sons Day.” “Happy sons to one of my best pals ever. This kid makes me proud every day. He’s one of the coolest guys I know. Thank God I’m his dad, or he wouldn’t let me hang out with him…” Buzz wrote. “Much love to you, Drew. You bring me much joy.”
Drew’s job and schooling
Drew graduated from California State University San Marcos in May. He shared graduation photos of himself on Instagram with the caption, “Professional B.S.-er,” indicating that he completed a Bachelor of Science Degree.
It is not clear exactly where he works, but his occupation when entering the show was Surgical Dental Assistant. Having just graduated a few months before entering the house, it seems as if he just started the job. According to Parade, Drew graduated summa cum laude.
“I would say my biggest strength is connecting with people. I mean, my job, I sit there with patients, and we just connect. And I feel like at the end of it, I just made a new friend,” he told the outlet.
He likes snowboarding and traveling
Aside from Big Brother content, there doesn’t seem to be much on Drew’s Instagram. However, he has posted a few photos of himself snowboarding as well as traveling photos. He appears to have gone to Italy, England, Canada, Turkey, and Texas.
“Fun time snowboarding!” he captioned the post in February. Drew shared another photo of himself snowboarding in 2023.
Drew’s relationship status
Drew is single. He told Parade, “I feel like my mom would be happy if I came home with the girl, even if I didn’t come home with the win. So, am I gonna say no [to a showmance]? No. I’m gonna say maybe.”
He currently has a flirtmance with Melody Morris, but nothing has happened so far.
