-A frequent blogger and speaker, Mark is in high demand for this creativity, his quick wit, his strategic insight, and his generosity.

Mark has a law degree from Georgetown and more recently a certificate in feature film screenwriting from University of California, Los Angeles (extension program).

He is a passionate diver, is in love with sharks, and is especially committed to marine conservation issues.
