Mark Parrish
Wardman Wines - Beer Buyer
Washington,DC
Summary
As a professional in the DMV area, I have been working exclusively in the Beer space. At Wardman Wines, I started knowing little to nothing, and over 5 years, pushed myself to learn as much as I could. After two years, the General Manager handed over the beer section to me. Wardman Wines is currently my home, however I have helped other breweries, such as Old Ox and Supreme Core Ciders, with odds and ends when needed.
