Drew J. Miller is the Chief Financial Officer of The JDK Group, the parent organization of JDK Catering, Essential Party Rentals, Imagine Event Design, and Weddings by JDK headquartered in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania.

Miller began a career in food service in 1987 with his sisters, Jennifer and Kirsten when the siblings opened Riverside Village Park, an outdoor food eatery, as a means of earning money during summer break for college. From 1987 to 2001 Drew opened a number of highly successful food-service ventures, including JDK Catering and Beetle Bop Car Hop (an old fashioned 50s’ style drive-in restaurant).

In 2001, Miller changed gears and embarked on a new career as a senior analyst with SERCO, a multi-national professional services company, primarily supporting Federal government. Over the next four years, Mr. Miller’s primary responsibilities included the development and implementation of strategic initiatives aimed at improving the organizational performance of various Department of Defense (DoD) agencies. During this period, he was able to earn a Master’s Degree in Business Administration.

In early 2005, Miller returned to JDK Catering as the Chief Financial Officer. In addition to his financial management responsibilities, Miller leads the company’s strategic initiatives. His first priority was the implementation of a new strategic plan capable of capitalizing on JDK’s intrinsic strengths as well as address initiatives to improve the company’s weaknesses. Over the last three years, the company has increased sales, re-branded under the new JDK group name, and opened three new divisions. Miller credits this success to the company’s ability to embrace change at all levels of leadership, which allowed JDK to vertically integrate its services into other markets.

Drew Miller received a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Maryland (1985), College Park. He also received an MBA in Business Administration from University of Maryland, University College (2006).
