He’s also an avid fantasy football player (the American kind), carefully analyzing stats and making strategic picks to dominate his league (or at least to annoy his opponents with his trash talk).
When he’s not pushing himself to the limit (while screaming from the top of his lungs at random football games), Marko can be found deeply engaged in listening to podcasts at 2x speed.
No challenge is too big for Marko, and he’s always looking for his next adventure (or ridiculous joke).
