A retired US Army Veteran turned civilian contractor, conducting Physical Security Detail (PSD) for the Army Corps of Engineers in and around Baghdad last fall, began to dream about operating a leather business in peaceful Rappahannock County. That soldier has turned his dream into reality. We welcome to Sperryville Mark Esola, the owner of Motorcycle Leatherworks on route 211, across from the bridge by the Rescue Squad. After 7 years as an Airborne Ranger, 13 years in the Special Forces and, after living through many horrors in Iraq and Afghanistan, Mark now lives above his business in Sperryville, renting from fellow paratrooper (from WWII) Jim Swindler. There was an immediate rapport between the two men when Mark came to look at the rented property, and Jim has been supportive > and encouraging ever since.
