Alex and John are award-winning vodka distillers and owners of Big River Distilling in Memphis, TN. Their Pyramid Premium Vodka has won numerous national and international awards, in large part due to their unique "grain-to-glass" approach.

 

Alexander works with Big River Distilling investors and other management to establish long-range goals, strategies, plans and policies. He earned a degree in Restaurant & Hospitality Management after years of working at the family restaurant. Alexander managed an upscale restaurant in Memphis before fulfilling his dream of starting a business with his brother, Winston. The two Folk brothers officially bottled their first batch of Pyramid Vodka in 2014. 

 

John’s role with Big River Distilling is to develop and implement marketing programs, sales strategies and distribution plans for its flagship brand. John played football at the University of Memphis, where he earned a master’s in finance. He spent three years with a large financial services firm before joining Big River Distilling in 2014.
