Mark spent the first 40-years of his life focused on education, business, language and culture, earning degrees including a Masters of Business Administration and a Doctorate in Business Administration.

In 2009, God called Mark to full-time ministry and he gradually stepped away from his career to serve and glorify Jesus Christ. Almost immediately he launched “Wine Study and Bible Tasting” on the beach and began serving as a volunteer young adult and youth pastor, preaching minister and even performed for several years in a contemporary Christian band.
