Meet the Team

DREW FOSTER

Founder / CEO

Drew grew up in Klamath Falls, Oregon and later moved to Idaho where he graduated from Boise State University with a degree in Business Finance. He held numerous automotive mechanic and fleet management jobs over the years, while always having a passion for shooting and the outdoors as his hobbies. In 2017 Drew began applying his engineering mindset to the shortcomings he saw in production hunting rifles, which lead to creating and patenting his own bolt action rifle designs which are now the foundation for success at AllTerra. His original idea was to modify existing rifles to include his technology, but over time it became clear that in order to do it right, he had to design and build his own entire rifle around his concepts. Drew’s brand was originally named Axial Precision before rebranding as AllTerra Arms in 2019. Drew is in the shop every day, working with everyone on the team in all facets of the business. His true passion lies in product design and the process of seeing functionally sound engineering concepts come to life.

DRAYTON MURPHY
