  • Drew Debusk

    My name is Drew DeBusk, and I grew up in Brock, Texas. After high school, I pursued my love for adventure by attending the Ocean Corporation in Houston, where I trained in underwater construction. This led to a career as a commercial diver, working across the Gulf of Mexico and inland U.S., where I learned teamwork and resilience. After diving, I shifted into construction and have spent nearly five years refining my skills in construction and management, leading a variety of projects. Outside of work, I enjoy time with my fiancé and daughter and am an avid waterfowl hunter, finding inspiration in the outdoors.
