Chapter House

Mark grew up in a military family, thus giving him opportunity to live in numerous exotic locations and developing the skill of never meeting a stranger. He graduated from Radford High School in Honolulu, Hawaii, and studied Business at Texas A&M University. Living in so many places gave him the opportunity to pursue different options in the work place, thus gaining skills as machinist, engine builder, and other variations of the auto industry. With his interest in detail and doing things with his hands, he developed skills as a part time jeweler, designing, creating and repairing jewelry while also studying the art of photography.

Mark’s interest in photography won out and he started a Photography studio and immersed himself in photography for the next 25 years. He obtained his Master of Photography Degree from the Professional Photographers of America, along with his Craftsman Degree which is awarded for excellence in speaking and teaching within the profession. In his Photography studio, Mark was always able to put his subjects at ease which allowed him to get to know his clients and quickly establish genuine friendships. Mark became a familiar and friendly face who just happened to have a camera.

Mark become our House Director back in 2017 and we look forward to him being a staple around the house for many years to come.
