When he’s not busy meeting with colleagues and talking about real estate at coffeeshops during business hours, Marcus enjoys playing pickleball with his bros, working out, and reading pop-science self-help books about gut health. He just built a new home in Austin on a lot that once held an adorable 1930s bungalow.

LizHerd is start-up and innovation incubator that provides a membership-based shared space where stuffed reptiles can network, collaborate, and share ideas all while keeping warm and regulating their body temperatures. We provide conversation-encouraging meeting rocks, a full kitchen stocked with insect snacks, and a stuffy-sized ping-pong table. In addition, we host guest speakers, learning lunches, and weekly happy hour networking events sponsored by overpriced, hipster cocktail companies.
