ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) – In February 2023, Drew Davis was a straight-A student who got a B-minus on a high school business project.
“So I went up and asked the teacher, like anybody would, and he said I thought it was a great idea, just unrealistic,” Davis said.
Drew’s company, Crippling Hot Sauce, was born. It’s a name he put a lot of thought into. Drew was born with cerebral palsy.
“I’ve always felt like people with disabilities get a lot of special treatment on the babyish side. And I wanted to show people that a lot of us have a sense of humor,” he said.
Two years later, Drew’s company had grown. Through his online and grocery store sales, the company generated $2 million in revenue, donating $22,000 to cerebral palsy research.
“When I was younger and got that bad grade on the paper, my only goal was to prove that teacher wrong. But as I got older, I realized my real goal was to empower as many people with disabilities as possible,” Davis said.
Drew renamed his hot sauce Stacked and created his own nonprofit.
“When the odds are stacked against you, stack the odds in your flavor,” he said. “Now part of the proceeds goes to the Limitless Foundation, which is my foundation that funds the dreams of other disabled dreamers.”
He’s accomplished so much at just 20 years old, but he’s not done yet.
“I want to be the barometer for all things possible,” Davis said.
On April 18, with his team’s help, Drew became the youngest disabled Ironman duo in the world after competing in the Ironman Texas North American Championship. Drew’s cousin towed him in a kayak for a 2.4-mile swim, then pulled him on a 112-mile bike ride and pushed him on a 26.2-mile run.
“But that’s what it’s all about. With family, with friends, everything is possible,” he said.
His friend Aiden Butcher was part of his team.
“Seeing them cross the finish line, I think I can speak for everyone who saw it — inspirational,” Butcher said.
That is Drew’s mission: to inspire.
“I want people to remember Drew for stuff like the Limitless Foundation along with he sells great hot sauce. But I really want people with disabilities to have a better life than I’ve had and that’s a tough ask because I’ve had a great life,” Davis said.
