He toured the world, skateboarding with the likes of Tony Alva. He co-owned and managed legendary nightclubs in New York; Lotus, Double 7 and the list goes on. Mark’s kindness, sincerity and innate empathy for others resonate throughout everything he does.

Nowadays, Mark lives with his amazing and beautiful Wolf-dogs and his cats. On this week's episode, Mark shares his experiences, challenges, and hopes for the future.
