After working 8 years as an Engineering Officer aboard U.S. vessels, Mark decided that long absences at sea ran counter to his dream of one day having a family. In 2001, Mark went to work for A.G. Edwards & Sons as a Financial Consultant and received his securities registrations and insurance license. In 2005, Mark graduated from the University of Portland with an Executive Certificate in Financial Planning and is now a CFP^TM - Certified Financial Planner^TM Professional.

Mark has a record of service both in his community and in the State of Oregon. As a champion for National Parks, Mark directly lobbied Congress to pass the Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail Act which passed in 2009.

Mark is a regular at MEBA meetings throughout the West Coast and meets with clients and family regularly throughout Oregon, California, Washington, Texas and Louisiana.
