Name: Drew Neilson

Title: Director of All Things Awesome

Job: Driver, guide and director of the Denver tour

Drew joined Banjo Billy way back at the beginning, but not as an employee. He showed up for a tour with his girlfriend only to find they were the only ones. Unable to take them on a tour, John invited him out to a party instead. They’ve been friends ever since. Drew started out as an ad-hoc web developer, building the second Banjo Billy site and moving the tour up the search engine rankings until an ominous day in 2008. John called to see if any of Drew’s “friends” would like a job directing the tour in Denver. never one to pass up an opportunity to get on the bus Drew said no, but that he’d be more than happy to step up to the role. Since then, he’s been making awesome happen left and right in the Banjo world.

In his spare time, you’ll find Drew shirking his driving occupation and riding a fixed gear bike instead. When not spinning gears, you’ll catch him petting his cats Lou and Tildie or rolling up some delicious sushi. Or riding the bus. Hey, even a Banjo Billy employee can enjoy a ride on the funkiest bus in town.
