We welcomed Drew Hansen, owner of Hansen & Homes, to speak with our class.

Drew shared his entrepreneurial journey, Taylor High School and Ball State grad, worked at Chrysler, owned a Pizza King in Auburn, and eventually launched Hansen & Homes in January 2023. Today his company focuses on remodeling and construction, both residential and commercial.

One of Drew’s biggest messages to the class was about mindset and work ethic. He encouraged students to focus not just on ROI, but also ROT: Return on Time, reminding us how we spend our time outside of work or school can make a huge difference.

ABL — Always Be Learning through reading, networking, exercising, and staying productive.

“Nobody cares. Just work harder.”

Thank you Drew, for sharing your story!
