As a native Angelino- born and raised under the bright SoCal sun and within Hollywood's beguiling culture- Mark was enamored with the entertainment world from an early age. His fascination of the opportunities within LA’s diverse, multi-faceted atmosphere led to a series of professional ventures into journalism, broadcasting, public relations and marketing for nearly a decade. Eventually, Mark found a calling in his true passion: creating artwork through acting and writing, in which he is currently training and performing alongside some of the industry's greatest minds for further advancement in what he loves doing best: entertaining. His “Renaissance Man†mindset can be attributed to many adventures roaming countless cites and states throughout the Americas, Europe and the Middle East, while partaking in the daily flow of life from several highly-contrasted cultural vantage points. Inspired by life-changing childhood experiences, Mark has dedicated his spare time to aiding the development of children around the globe and has volunteered at numerous non-profit youth development organizations, primarily in a program director role for over 10 years. Aside from his training in acting and writing, Mark holds a Bachelor or Arts in Public Relations with a minor in Marketing from the University of Southern California (USC), as well as an Associate of Arts in Print and Broadcast Journalism from Santa Monica College (SMC).
