Mark was born in Virginia, raised in North Carolina and finished high school in Tennessee--a true "wild-eyed southern boy". His musical background started when he was twelve years old, playing clarinet and saxophone in school bands. At the age of fifteen, Mark started playing guitar and singing. After high school, Mark spent twelve years playing with military bands in Korea, Japan, Germany and the United States. Mark has also played several concerts backing "The Temptations".

Although Mark's musical background is firmly rooted in country music, his stage show includes songs from groups like The Eagles, Eric Clapton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Billy Joel, with a little R&B and folk thrown in as well. Even though Mark has had a successful career working with bands (mostly playing guitar and singing) for over fifteen years, the last several years have brought about a gradual rise in popularity for his work as a solo performer.

In 1997, Mark worked with the band "Fiedel Joe & Co.", a popular German country band from the Westerwald (a region in Germany). There he met the guitarist Christoph Schmitt and formed the duo "Mark Meets Chris" (1998-1999).

Currently, Mark is working solo, duo, trio and Band gigs. He has, to date, released 4 solo CD’s: Cobblestone Streets…, 1996 Avance Records; Reasons, 1998 Avance Records; If I Could Do It All Again, 2001 Tyrolis Music; Better Left Unsaid, 2003 Avance Records.
