Bio

Gayle Lynn Fields
Mark is a great producer. He is very organized with a strong sense of story and works well with many different types of personalities. He is sold, reliable and creative. I try to get him on jobs with me whenever possible.

Paul Sauer
Mark was my associate producer on "Ultimate Factories": Porsche and I recommend him highly. I have a hard time delegating and Mark made it easy. He's dedicated beyond belief, working late and on weekends to get an impossible workload done. He took on a wide range of tasks, including producing the show graphics, getting the mundane paper work and budget reports done, and keeping the whole show organized. Mark may initially strike you as quiet, but that's because he's getting your work done with extreme efficiency and thoroughness. Hire him!
