Andrew Marks was born and raised in Petersburg, Virginia, where the values of hard work and family shaped his path early on. Leaving high school to join the family business, he built his career around buying and selling surplus equipment, carrying on a tradition that has long been a part of his family’s livelihood. Beyond business, Andrew finds peace and excitement on the water, with fishing the Atlantic Ocean being one of his favorite pastimes—there’s nothing like the thrill of the big blue. Still, what he cherishes most is time spent with loved ones. For Andrew, family, food, and fellowship are the true rewards in life, grounding him in the things that matter most.
