After managing to graduate from the United States Military Academy at West Point without learning anything about the Napoleonic Wars, Marcus spent the next few years jumping out of airplanes, infiltrating beach heads, and flying helicopters as an Air Cavalry Helicopter Pilot and a Special Forces Combat Diver. Once he got bored of shooting rockets from his whirly-bird, Marcus decided to practice his patriotism another way; to usher the revival of America’s spirit, rye whiskey. A Certified Specialist of Spirits and a certifiable booze geek, Marcus spends his time reading 19th Century cocktail books and distillation manuscripts. Find Marcus gallivanting around our Nation’s Capital and the DMV extolling the endless virtues of WhistlePig.
