Marcus is a cocktail connoisseur who’s been crafting unforgettable experiences in the hospitality arena for over a decade. But his romance with flavors and food began long before that. Marcus grew up watching his grandparents and parents stir, bake, and create culinary magic. But most importantly, he watched them bring the family together over a well-cooked meal. This sparked his love for food service and what it meant to deliver true hospitality.

While his early dreams envisioned him behind the stove, the world had other plans. Marcus discovered that his true calling wasn’t in the kitchen but behind the bar. An artisan in the art of mixology, he's always looking for that next exciting concoction.

For Marcus, it’s not just about the drinks, but the stories they inspire. From around his childhood dinner table to the conversation at a bar top, these are the places where people are bound together by food and drink. Marcus got a first-row seat to the beauty of that and never got tired of it.

Away from Silk, Marcus shares his world with two Snorkies - Cinnamon and Sugar. Together, they curl up for horror movie marathons, especially when the leaves turn and Halloween fills the air. And when the spirits aren't calling (the liquid kind, of course), you’ll find Marcus lost in the virtual realms of video games.
