Markus talks to me about growing up in Michigan and how seeing a buddy enlist made him want to also join and serve, he was wanting a better life and a way to provide for his family.

Markus joined the Army as Ammo Specialist and talks very passionately about the importance of his job and the joy he gets out of doing it. When he first joined he initially went to Regular Army and then made his way to the SOF community and that was where we both crossed paths at 5th Special Forces Group (5SFG). He talks about the differences of both worlds and having the freedom to do his job freely and mainly alone while being at 5SFG and then having to go back to the big Army.

Markus doesn't just have passion for music but he is a very talented Rapper and Producer and has released few albums out. Markus got the music bug at his first unit when he heard some of his friends rapping and he says that the first time was not great but it was what his friend said to him that made him continue and pursue his love for music.
