Drew French is the Founder and President of Your Pie. After experiencing the brick oven style of pizza on the island of Ischia while on his honeymoon, Drew was inspired to bring the authentic taste of Italy to the United States. Drew put his love of gourmet food and his business degree from the University of Georgia to work and opened up his first Your Pie location in Athens in 2008 and leads the company with new ingredients, innovative recipes and choices to create a one-of-a-kind experience with traditional roots. The Your Pie family now includes 46 franchises across the country. Connect with Drew on LinkedIn.
Bucky Cook is Chief Executive Officer of Your Pie. He has extensive experience in the restaurant and franchising industries since 1984, when he joined Heavenly Ham as a startup and led the brand for 15 years as CEO. He helped take the ham retailer from 10 to 230 units before the brand was sold to competitor HoneyBaked Ham. In 2010, Bucky became the CEO of Your Pie, a new and in-demand fast casual pizza concept. He loved the idea so much, a year later he became a franchisee himself. Having the experience and practice from both sides of the operation, Bucky was able to grow a relatively new brand to include 42 locations expanding out of the Southeast and across the country.
