Mark has been married to his wife Robin for twenty-six years and together they have four daughters. Besides being a writer, he is a veteran, a distance runner, and a public speaker who has recently been forced to add the title of childhood cancer advocate after his youngest daughter, Kylie lost her battle with Ewing’s Sarcoma in February of 2015. He is the Director of Communications at CURE Childhood Cancer.
In his fiction, he strives to weave moral truth and humor into a story that is relevant and engaging. One of the greatest compliments he's ever received came from a woman who said: "thank you for showing me what goes on inside a boy's mind." Not much goes on in there, you can be sure of that.
Since the loss of Kylie, the theme of his writing has changed along with his world. Humor and smiles now are forced to coexist with heartbreak and loss. Now he is described as "A Generous Helping of Laughter and Tears."
His pieces have been published on The Huffington Post, The Mighty, and Mamamia.
