About

Built by an operator. For operators.

I'm Drew, founder of DrewOS and Outpost Preparedness.

I'm a retired Marine and combat veteran from Los Angeles, now in San Diego, running a disaster-preparedness company that sells into federal, state, and prime contractors.

Built by a retired Marine Master Sergeant with ten years in the infantry and ten in logistics, a Lean Six Sigma practitioner, and an operator who built DrewOS first to run his own company.

For a long time my life looked like this: W-2 job, kids, fiancée, dogs, travel… and a business that only moved when I was in front of a laptop.

If I was on the road, nothing happened.

If I was at my day job, nothing happened.

If I was putting my kids to bed, nothing happened.

No pipeline moved. No follow-up. No quotes.

When I wasn't running the business, nobody was.

How DrewOS happened

I didn't set out to build a software company. I was trying to stop paying for tools that weren't doing enough.

  1. Booking fees

    I was tired of paying another company every time someone wanted to book a meeting with me, so I built my own booking system.

  2. Outbound

    Once that worked, I stopped paying someone else to send my outbound and built that too. It created conversations and real opportunities, and that gave me the confidence to bring more of the work in-house.

  3. About $6,000, gone

    Then I paid roughly six thousand dollars for a government-contracting service that promised to help me find and pursue opportunities. It didn't deliver. I lost the money and still had the problem. So I built my own: opportunity research, bid tracking, compliance workflows, proposal support and follow-up. It performed dramatically better than what I'd paid for.

At that point I stopped asking how to fix one problem, and started asking which other parts of the business were costing me money, time or attention because the systems were disconnected. So I built the CRM. The email workflows. The enrichment. The briefs. The analytics. The event capture. The agents that keep the work moving when I'm not available.

Eventually I looked up at what I'd built and realized it wasn't a collection of tools. It was a business operating system.

One login. One place to see the work. A team of agents working in the background while I'm with my family, walking the dogs, traveling or working my W-2. Today it runs Outpost Preparedness end to end, and it tells me, "Here are the three things that actually need you today."

Only after it worked for my own company did I open it up. It's not for every business; it's for businesses with repeatable sales, service or operational workflows, configured around how each one actually works:

That's who DrewOS is built for.

The product is the workflow.

The product is the agents.

The product is the time you get back while a 24/7 revenue team keeps your business moving.

Not another dashboard to babysit. We diagnose the gaps, build the system inside DrewOS, and deploy the agents to handle the repeatable work. You focus on the decisions and conversations that need you. DrewOS keeps the rest moving.
