Mark joined the Stewardship and Development Office in July 2020 and serves as the Campaign Director. He brings extensive fundraising experience with the Catholic Church having served on four major diocesan campaigns during his tenure with CCS Fundraising. In addition to his development work, Mark spent 17 years in the for-profit sector as a Senior Sales Manager for a highly technical commercial fire-proofing manufacturing firm. He was instrumental in developing and implementing model building codes currently used throughout the country. Mark also served as a volunteer firefighter in Kimball, MN and a volunteer EMT with Watkins (MN) Ambulance and Rescue.
Mark and his wife Robin have lived all over the country and are pleased to now call themselves Texans (much warmer than Minnesota where they last lived!). They have three adult daughters and enjoy live theater productions and concerts in their free time. While still a Vikings and Cubs fan, Mark is open to rooting for Texas teams.
