Drew J. Graeter

Drew Graeter is a veteran of more than 27 years as a financial consultant and has received multiple awards for his professional achievements. Prior to founding Graeter Wealth Advisors in partnership with his father and brother, he served as corporate Vice President for Central Bank’s financial consulting team in the Louisville market.

Drew began his career with the Louisville investment firm of Hilliard Lyons in 2000. He developed his business in the face of the bursting of the stock market “tech bubble,” the terrorist attacks of September 11, and what was, until then, the worst bear market since the Great Depression.

Despite the times, Drew consistently ranked #1 or #2 on the Hilliard “Rookie Honor Roll.” This designation honored the firm’s top consultants among those with five or fewer years in the business.

A native of Louisville, Drew attended Kentucky Country Day for 10 years before graduating from Ballard High School, where he was an All-Region baseball player and a varsity basketball letterman. He attended Murray State University on a baseball scholarship and earned his degree in economics. He was also a member of Sigma Chi fraternity.

Drew and his wife, the former Heather Hodge, reside in the Prospect area of Louisville where Drew is a past president of the Fox Harbor Neighborhood Association. Heather is a native of Hickman, Kentucky, a former Miss Fulton County and is also a graduate of Murray State.

Drew and Heather have two children.  Their daughter, Abrie, was born in 2007 and their son, Drake, was born in 2008. The family also includes “Clemmie,” a chocolate Labrador retriever.  Drew is an actively involved coach of youth baseball and basketball.
