THE ERMAN BROTHERS

detroit bred | tucson grown

The Erman brothers have taken an unorthodox path into hospitality and the third placemaking.

Mark began as a geologist investigating environmentally impacted sites in the Midwest at a global firm specializing in environmental and regulatory compliance, leading to the practice of law at an AmLaw 100 firm. Mark relocated to Tucson with his family in 2011 and serves as general counsel and creative director for the enterprise. He enjoys movement, art, road trips, rocks, climbing, sharing special lookouts with friends, writing, advocacy, communal building, long-range projects, and ancient gathering places.

Eric majored in psychology at the University of Michigan, following his passion for beer into the commercial brewing industry. He honed his craft as a brewer in Detroit, Denver, Boulder, and Portland before moving to Tucson to launch Ermanos. With his mechanical and technical foundation, Eric continues to be driven as a life-long learner of new skills and wisdom, and serves as strategic advisor and operations director among other roles. He enjoys chess, photography, music, cinema, and nature.

The brothers love the Sonoran Desert community and lead a collaborative organization founded on relationships and equity.
