From touring musician to tech professional to agave spirits entrepreneur, Marcus Pina’s journey has been anything but conventional. We explore his life shaped by military moves, European adventures, Seattle’s music scene, and a fascination with Mexico. Marcus shares how he discovered mezcal, partnered with master producer José Alberto, and built Creador Spirits around authenticity, craftsmanship, and lasting relationships. We chat about traditional production methods, the evolving agave industry, and why building something meaningful matters more than chasing a quick exit.
