Markus' love of fishing was born of childhood summers spent camping, boating and fishing throughout Ontario with his family. His passion was put on hold when at the age of twenty he joined the Canadian military with the RCR. When deployed on operations, he laid down his fishing pole, picked up his rifle and put fishing on the back burner. Lucky for him, when he wasn't overseas, he was stationed in Petawawa, Ontario where he experienced awesome bass fishing on the Ottawa River. This is where he became ''hooked'' on tournament fishing. Since competing in that first tournament in a small aluminum boat, he has grown into a Ranger bass boat and now regularly competes in bass tournaments in Southwestern Ontario with the Tri-Bay Bass Association circuit.
