Leadership
Meet Mark Lester, T3 Vodka’s founder and serial entrepreneur. Mark knew good vodka and always appreciated a glass or two with friends. An especially lucky day on the golf course inspired him to create his own special elixir, aiming to distill the best characteristics of his favorite vodkas while adding his own twist. Mark picked up the nickname "T3" that day. The trip came to an end, but the name and inspiration stuck.
