Drew holds a Bachelors of Science degree in Medical Technology/Biomedical research from the State University of New York at Fredonia, a Master of Science degree in Immunology / Medical Biology from the C. W. Post campus of Long Island University, and a Post Masters Certification in Science Education from Dowling College.

He is the author of the Dragon Tales & Stories trilogy. The third novel, Dragons & Science is due out in 2008. The first two, Dragons & Wolves and The Dragon & The Detective have just been released in Europe.

After years of being a laboratory supervisor for North Shore University Hospital, he began teaching science at Amityville Memorial High School in New York, right down the street from the famous Amityville Horror house. Studying the martial arts under Renshi George Santiago, he is now a Sensei at Master Santiago’s Bushido Karate dojo in Islip, New York.

This past summer, he landed the role as Sergeant Chris Randel, as supernatural killer in Andrew Henriques’ film Black Forest. He has also performed stunt work on several independent movies, including a giant squid in an axe fight.

Writing and BSing has always been a hobby for Drew. He likes to take the world of science and throw a monkey wrench into its thought process. He feels that nobody knows it “all”, and loves to prove it. Teaching high school biology and Forensic Science for Syracuse University has proven more rewarding than lab work. Everyday you learn something new. Drop by his website www.DrewHenriksen.com, www.MySpace.com/drewhenriksen
