A lifelong fan who once co-owned New York's famed Federation Trading Post before crossing over to work on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, and multiple feature films, Drexler has left his creative fingerprints on everything from the NX-01 to the 26th-century Enterprise-J.
