Welcome to Cosmic Cerakote. I am Mark Czarnecki and we are a family run small business. We got into this to be able to spend time with each other and our son without having to be forced into things by a corporate entity.

That being said here is our story. Sabreena and I married in 2013 in Erie, PA where I grew up. I had just joined the Army and was about 6 months in and going through the Special Forces Qualification Course at Fort Bragg NC. I unfortunately didn’t make it after about a year in and was sent to the 82nd Airborne Div as an Infantryman. I spent the rest of my enlistment in 1st Battalion, 325 AIR. In 2017 I deployed for the first time to Baghdad and spent 9 months there. After returning I ETS’d from the Army in Jan of 2018.

After the Army I had an opportunity to contract for the government overseas as a security contractor which I jumped on. I did 3 more deployments with them while I at the same time bought into a store here in Fayetteville called The Rock Guns. I spent a lot of time and effort building that place up with our team. After those deployments my wife got over me being gone so much so I decided to stop and do the gun store full time which is when I took over the Cerakote duties and went and got certified out at NIC Industires.

From there Cerakote and art became a renewed passion of mine.
