John made his first adult beverage while serving in the US Army in Operation Desert Storm.  His Arabian barracks brew--like John's army unit--lacked finesse, but accomplished the mission.  In the decade since, John has refined his art.  He previously owned a vineyard and winery in Texas, and has transitioned into brewing craft beers.  He enjoys sailing, running, and painting.

Roxanne was born and raised in a small village in Ohio, which she left to live in Washington, DC.  After a weekend outing to Westmoreland State Park, and an exhausting decade with the Peace Corps, she decided to hunker down and call Montross "home." Roxanne has her finger on the pulse of  the brewery to ensure everyone has a quality experience. Her focus is working on the beer garden, which she loves, but has no real experience.  She loves traveling, running, yoga, photography, and all things related to the great outdoors.

Matt, a recent college grad, started as an intern for John.  The internship didn't last long and he became our second employee.  Since joining the brewery family, he has expanded his role and refined his craft. Matt is dedicated to delivering the finest quality beer to all brewery guests.

Mark, also an avid craft beer lover, showed up one day to brew with John, Matt, and Wayne.  You know that one person, who is the nicest, most caring, and would drop everything to help a friend?  Well, that is Mark. Mark is always there to support the staff and brewery operations.
