A determined and intellectual professional, Mark chose to pursue a career in accounting because he has always loved the challenge of fixing problems and working with numbers. He attributes his career success to a combination of hard work and continuous pursuit of learning. Mark prides himself on having learned from his own failure. In high school, Mark did not meet his sports scholarship goals due to injuries, which caused him to vow to never again take success for granted and to always maintain a strong work ethic.

Raised in Stuttgart, Arkansas, Mark met his wife, Brooke, in high school. They now live together in Little Rock with their three children; Addison, Harper and Weston. Mark likes the area for its natural beauty and abundance of parks and hiking trails. In his free time, he can usually be found golfing, hunting, or engaged in other outdoor pursuits.
