“I was born in the Bay Area of California, where I enjoyed a long relationship with the Church and Christ. My father was very spiritual and seriously considered going into the priesthood at one point, so I learned a lot from him about how to listen for understanding, and how to appreciate the joy of serving,” said Mark.
A graduate of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, in Business and Information Systems, Mark worked for years as a software engineer in the high tech industry bridging the gap between business needs and system solutions. Later in his career he progressed into sales and organizational development where he led the design of new systems, processes and created an empowered staff. Mark has a reputation for finding the win-win and creating change for the greater good.
Mark and his wife are blessed with a wonderful son, who is already spiritual beyond his years. To raise their son with the same traditional values, they moved to Bend almost five years ago and enjoy being an integral part of a close community. They attend Sunday Mass at St. Francis of Assisi in Bend and are members of the parishes Hospitality Team.
Mark is looking forward to working for you through the Diocese of Baker — serving everyone, finding new ways to bring value, and leveraging God’s abundances for the gift to all of peace, love and joy!
