Mark was born in Brookfield, Wisconsin and currently lives just minutes from his family home. Mark is not the typical author; in fact he has worked several different industries throughout his career including construction, radio, sports retail and most recently the grocery industry. Mark journals every day and writes song lyrics, short stories and even the occasional erotic story. Mark is the oldest of 4 kids and has continued to remain single thinking that when he "grows up" he would like to live on an island or at least in a warm climate allowing him more time to write and create, things he loves to do.
