Drew Gowing
Drew Gowing was named Editor-in-Chief in 2008, and presides over Charlatan Magazine's exposé on politics & style.
Reared in socially progressive Los Angeles, Drew Gowing rebelled as was the form by dropping out of the prestigious University of Southern California to join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons) on a full-time, two-year missionary assignment in Canada. Upon returning to the U.S., he transferred to Brigham Young University to read philosophy and earn the distinction Bachelor of Arts.
He began his career as an intern on the Senate Labor and Human Resource Committee in Washington DC, and ultimately cut his teeth in the press rooms on Capitol Hill. In the nation's capitol, communications and political science combine into the incontrovertible truth that publishing ensures, supports and shapes the world of politics. With a JD/MPP in Law & Public Policy, he turned from Boston University into global management consulting whereto advise the private, public, and non-profit sectors around the world..
During the 2008 election year, three contingents of his past coincided when the LDS Church collected over $20+ million to promulgate the State of California’s Proposition 8. Herewith, church, state and law collided in what is described as the only instance in U.S. history where civil and pre-existing rights were taken away from a specific and targeted minority. Tapped to edit a political exposé in the week's thereafter, he effectively returned to the public sector to devote his "second act" to its service.
Mr. Gowing is the inaugural editor of Charlatan Magazine. He resides in Charlotte, North Carolina with his family.
