Mark is a motivator, innovator, entrepreneur, a radical believer for the positive and dedicated to training the mind to what is possible.
Over the past 20 years, Mark has helped lead thousands of lives through a variety of forums. Whether he’s on a stage in front of crowds of people or at a table talking over coffee, his passion is leading people to unlock the vision of what’s possible, and then building a framework of success.
Mark started his journey as a minister and a musician. That journey not only took him literally all over the world, but opened his eyes to a very simple need that we all share, to experience all that life has to offer, in short fullness.
Everyone’s version of fullness can be different and can vary depending on the season of life that you’re in. Mark’s sole goal is to identify what that is, and then build a successful plan for it. He believes that every season in life is a vehicle to the next. Driven well, it can and will fast track you to your fullness goal. Whether that be personally, physically, relationally or in business. Your roadmap is dictated by what you allow in your mind and the vision of possibility. What if we could unlock not just the potential, but the possible? Mark’s passion is to help you to do just that.

My Story
My story started out just like thousands of other stories. My father had a good job working in retail and provided for us. Our family never wanted for anything, but we also never left the road we were on. My father, like most hard working father’s, lived by the rules. Get a good job, work hard until retirement, get your gold watch and ride into the sunset.. Until that story, life it did for most, turned on him. And that could have been my whole story.
But it wasn’t… it couldn’t.
I was determined to pull as much out of life as possible. At 18, my defiant attitude got me kicked out of the house and into the world, where I quickly learned I wouldn’t get anywhere without a work ethic. And I didn’t just work—I squeezed every minute out of every hour, seven days a week. I would clock in as a customer service agent at local newspaper, head over to my position as the top-selling electronics representative at Montgomery Ward department store, then start loading trucks for UPS at 11 p.m. Then I’d get up and do it all over again. By the time I was 19, I paid cash for a vehicle and was paying for my own apartment.
That drive became the throughline for my life. At 20, I was hired as a customer service rep for a small local heat, air and plumbing company, and by 22, I was the operations manager and it was a $7 million business. I went into ministry and became my church’s worship leader for more than eight years. I was also a signed recording artist. I started a photo booth company that grew into eight locations across four states and a successful lawn care and lighting business.
I then took a job selling residential heat and air equipment making over $300,000 per year. As I look back on every job, every grind and every opportunity was simply a vehicle to the next bigger, better and more lucrative challenge. Every step prepared me for the next and I was ready, as long as that step up upward and forward.
Then I purchased a 36-year-old HVAC company that had never done more than $900,000 in sales. By December 31 of that same year, we had $1 million in revenue. In the next year, $4.25 million, then $5.7 million. In just over four years, the company grew to a $10 million+ business and is still going strong. In our first full year we were named our city’s favorite service company.
Sure, there were heartaches and hardships along the way, including a divorce, but they were never a reason to stagnate. They were always a chance to go rogue, to leave the script, driving me to the next opportunity and preparing me for more.
Sharing the Story
A great story demands to be shared because a great story makes more seem possible. Hearing another story allows you to wrap your mind around an idea, to put yourself in the center, to see what that looks like. When you place yourself in a story, you begin to see a different reflection of yourself.
Stories are also endless pools of valuable information because they humanize situations you may have never been in nor will ever be. The successes and failures of others can accelerate your own evolution exponentially, just by taking what they learned and applying it to your own life, and someone’s bad experience can produce just as much insight as your own good ones.
I want to share my story with you. I want to give you a starting point, to share with you who I am, what I’ve experienced, and what I’m passionate about, so that you might discover what your story is waiting to become.
