Mr. Baker’s constant companion is his German’s Shepherd Dog, Beth Dutton-Baker, named after Beth Dutton of Yellowstone fame, because of the similarities in their personalities. His goal is to become a competent handler, teaching veterans to form a bond with and share companionship with the working dog.

Drew left the Navy as a Construction Mechanic Second Class and is received Vetstar/Texas Veterans Commission 2016-2021. He has worked in both the Housing for Texas Heroes and Military Veteran Peer Network grants.

“I have come to realize that peer support is one the most powerful tools that a community can apply to its veterans, first responders, and their families. The opportunity afforded me by T6 of West Texas to develop and present a training course for the community at large about peer support and applying it at a non-clinical level is an answered prayer.  I am humbled and excited to be part of this team and I will do my level best to get everyone who is willing to listen to me engaging the people around them, actively listening, and providing peer support.

Remember, it’s ok to ask for help,” states Drew.
