Mark makes work fun, and leaders more effective because “life’s too short for work to suck.” With 25+ years of experience and over 1000 events and training, he uses the power of experiential learning to help teams communicate and leaders get results, the fun way!

Nicknamed "the Ambassador of Fun," his superpower is beard-growing, and his mortal weakness is donut holes. Mark has a Master’s Degree in Athletic Counseling from Springfield College and is a certified practitioner in Everything DiSC® and the Five Behaviors® from Wiley. Mark is also a Kirkpatrick Certified Professional (Bronze Level) by Kirkpatrick Partners.

Mark lives in Rome, GA, with his wife Alice and two precious daughters. In 2023, he wrote Forever Sisters, a children’s book inspired by his experience as a foster and adoptive parent. Mark also published two books of humor and satire, FUN Lies and FUN Lies [Again]. Mark spends his free time performing improv and playing disc golf.

"The best leaders are servants of the purpose, the people, and the process."
