Bio
Laura V. Hudson
I needed on-deadline web copywriting and editing help that would stick closely to our firm's content strategy guidelines. Mark worked with our current content and re-aligned the substance to fit within our style, tone, and structure. We were very pleased with his quick help and excellent work product. Highly recommended.
Rob Ainbinder
Mark always displayed amazing enthusiasm and calm while at the helm of this conference. He didn't hesitate to share the spotlight or credit with the team. Mark was instrumental in the conference's fundraising efforts and tireless in balancing his personal and professional time commitments. It takes many hands to pull off any type of volunteer effort and the demands of putting on a two day, technology conference like ConvergeSouth are no exception.
Jonathan Smith
Mark interviewed me for a story he wrote for Triad Business Journal. Cutting questions, careful listener. I followed his lead into social media, LinkedIn, the blogosphere, and how to write good enough drafts so that he didn’t have to spend all day correcting and polishing our press releases. Mark comprehends the bigger picture; he understands what makes JSCO different from all the rest, why an investor would choose us over a bank, brokerage, or institutional manager. A credit to his profession, Mark is well-grounded. Though he listens well to me, he never lets me tell him how to do his best work.
