Mark responded to a drama team audition notice in the Church bulletin one day. Additionally, Mark enrolled in several acting classes and intensive seminars - he was in love. As sometimes happens though, life took over and he found himself working more and more, and acting less and less until one sad day, he stopped the acting all together to pursue the lucrative, yet unfulfilling business path.
In early 2014, Mark had an epiphany moment in his life. While in the hospital scheduling minor surgery he asked himself, what if this was a major surgery, what if this was something that he could die from, has he truly "lived", was he fulfilled? At the end of this life would he regret not truly living out his dream of performing, acting..... LIVING? As Mark pondered the thought, he snapped into action, he sold his house and all of his possessions, and began his journey from Sugar Land, Texas to Hollywood, California to "LIVE". So sure of his future, all he brought with him was what he could fit in his car.
In the first 6 months, Mark is Living! He has been very busy appearing in over 20 productions including Short films, Indie films, Television and commercials. Mark is always trying to grow and has even taken on producing. His first of many projects is a short film, Sweat & Blood.
