All our lives, we seek people to mirror—those who are valuable, respectful, and kind. People who make us feel like we matter and are important. Mark is that person. I did not know him for long before it felt like we were old friends. Mark is very family-oriented, which is outstanding for someone so driven by business and passionate about his career.
Being able to balance all of it, especially when many other important things need attention, is commendable. Mark transformed a less-than-ideal business situation into something productive and thriving. He has a passion for helping people with health and mental illnesses, creating ways to make access easier not only in the city but also in surrounding rural areas.
Mark goes beyond what’s expected. He makes sure you know about things that will benefit my clinic.
When I asked him why he was doing this and helping so much, his response was, “Nobody should do it alone – together we can do so much more than individually.”
I know many excellent APRNs, some even exceptional, and Mark is one of those exceptional people who cares only for the best interests of his family, friends, and community. He should be recognized for making a positive difference in the world around him.
