I have known Mark for almost 18 years. I am a member of the Pauma Valley Country Club where Mark was the head golf professional. Since that time, I am proud to call Mark a friend. I have seen Mark work through many different situations and I found him to be extremely competent, patient, understanding and determined. If I had a position in my company that would suit Mark's skills, I would immediately offer him a position. Mark will be successful in whatever he chooses to do and he will be an assest where ever he is. Jeffrey Cornish President Reverse Planning Group

Mark is a smart thinker who systematically goes outside the box. He is drivrn to succeed and will not settle for second best. Mark takes to his duties like he does his golf game; a perfectionist. I have watched Mark handle with ease, the heads of who's who in corporate American. Mark will be a definate asset to any organization.
