Mark was born and raised here in Greenville, SC in a Christian home. He graduated from college with a BS in Business Administration in May of 1995 and married his wonderful wife, Holly, in September of 1995. The Lord gave him 3 sons and 1 daughter for which they are so thankful.
He met Jesus at a young age and since middle school has had a desire to put the Lord first in his life. He met our teaching Pastor Will Lohnes as a teenager where Will mentored and shepherded him. He has a particular interest and burden for missions both locally and abroad. This desire began in his soul as a teenager when he went on mission trips to a third world country and to New York City. He never got over the work Christ did in his heart on those trips, and he is so thankful! He desires to see the glory of the Lord extend to all nations for the eternal worship of Jesus.
After attending various churches over the years where he has had the privilege of leading in worship (Choir), teaching, and mercy ministry, he reunited with Will at Hope Chapel in 2017. He is thankful to be using his Shepherding gift at Hope and views it as such a joy and privilege to work as a team with the other elders and deacons.
