Andrew Gould Originally from Buffalo, New York, Chef Drew has been with Marriott since 1999, most recently as Executive Chef of the Gaithersburg Marriott. A graduate of Johnson and Wales University with a degree in Culinary Arts, Chef Drew originally joined the Williamsburg Marriott as Assistant Sous Chef and Specialty Restaurant Chef and honed his skills enough to move on after just four years to become the Restaurant Manager and Sous Chef at the Spartanburg Marriott. He credits his love of food to both his grandmother and mother who made warm, hearty meals for the family and inspired him to turn this passion into a career.
