Mark is one of the founding partners in the team that acquired the Washington Commanders NFL franchise. He founded Washington Kastles Tennis. And he’s executive chairman of Kastle Systems. Mark shares what entrepreneurial persistence really looks like (psst: think cold night sweats).See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
