Mark was born and raised in Bayfield, WI by two strong Christian parents. He learned so much about the Christian faith and Christian morality (how to get to Heaven and how to be good), but he lacked two things until he was 20 years old: a passionate intimacy with Christ and a personal surrender to Christ. During that college-aged season of faith growth, Mark sensed a profound calling to student ministry.
Mark has been a youth pastor for over 25 years, and he’s seen the cultural trends and fads come and go in each generation. He has learned that, the more things change, the more they stay the same: today’s students still crave a healthy and accepting community, a purpose to live for, an enduring hope in their temporal struggles, answers to life’s biggest questions, and – most importantly – an authentic saving relationship with their Creator. He builds his ministry and teaching around these timeless needs for any group God gives him to serve.
Mark currently lives in Mukwonago, WI with his wife and best friend of 24 years, and his four amazing adult children. He’s a big fan of Wisconsin sports teams, ridiculous amounts of coffee, and nerdy board games like Settlers of Catan.
