Mark Christopher Neff

Mark Christopher Neff is a LGBTQ+ author/life coach from Cincinnati, OH. He currently spends part of the year in Cincinnati and the other half of the year in Hollywood, FL. He is an identical twin and loves sharing spaces in both cities with his brother Matt.

Mark’s professional experience includes a six-year stint in Marketing and Advertising in San Francisco. After 9/11, he decided that corporate America was not for him. He moved back to Ohio and pursued a career in hair, which allowed him to let his creative side shine. His nineteen years in the industry led to ownership in three salons, with the last being a full-service salon and spa. After experiencing burnout in the hair industry, Mark listened to his intuition and sold the salon and spa. The deal closed just three weeks before the pandemic hit.

Mark used the pandemic to carve out some still time in his life and that’s when he wrote Diving Into Darkness To Find Light. The still time allowed him to dive deep into the traumatic moments in his life and to process all the emotions tied to each experience.

Mark’s mission is to touch as many lives as he can with his book. Mark candidly shares his experiences with sexual identity, cancer, addiction, tragic loss, career burnout and mental health.

He attributes all good things coming his way today with his sobriety and authenticity. When he’s not writing or coaching, Mark loves cooking, taking long walks, working out, and spending time with family and friends. He’s a huge proponent of simplified living to keep things manageable.

Mark is available for coaching, motivational speaking and book signing events. More information can be found on his website www.findyourlightnow.net.
