Mark is authorized to serve as a Regional Director of The American College Foundation and is also a Certified College Advisor.

Mark understands the importance of a higher education and also realizes that each family has unique circumstances.  Mark’s philosophy has always been to ‘teach people true principles, let them decide how to proceed, then support them in that process.’  Mark first became involved in finance in 1999.  It soon became apparent to Mark that families needed help in the very complex field of college cost planning and selection.  For those families in Mark’s area who would like a more in-depth understanding of the overall college planning process, Mark is passionate about teaching and helping those families navigate the oftentimes confusing and complicated process of preparing and paying for college.

“A college education alone does not guarantee success,” says Mark, “but it does open many doors which would otherwise remain closed.”

Mark was born in a suburb of Kansas City, and attended Olathe North High School before attending the University of Kansas in Lawrence.  Mark now lives in Riverside, California, where he and his wife are raising two children together.
