Mark began his professional career as a teacher and coach prior to venturing into the business world where he started several companies, including Indiana Parcel Service, before moving into sales coaching and training. Mark had been a member of Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Matthew during his time in Indianapolis. Mark enjoyed history, the Indianapolis 500, anything Purdue University related, football, golf, music, boating, travel, and spending time with his beloved family and friends. He had a knack for storytelling, along with his adventurous spirit and outgoing nature, and would often light up a room with laughter.
