Sam Markos

I have personally been a member of GARA since its inception in 1986. I have been very proud to watch the organization grow and prosper over the years. It is an honor to now be the only founder left as well as the President of the Greek American Restaurant Association.  By being a member of GARA, you are giving back and making a difference in the lives of people locally and nationally. Being involved in GARA gives me the opportunity to continuously help the Greek community. 

I am originally from Argos, Greece. I am married, with two children and have been blessed with 5 grandchildren. I attend St Demitrios Greek Orthodox Church in Elmhurst. I enjoy staying busy working and attending meetings and events for GARA. When I have free time, I enjoy spending time with friends as well as traveling to Nafplion, Greece.
