Bio

I have known Mark since High School and I am nearly as familiar with his career as I am with my own. If I ever need banking or finance advice he is the first person I turn to. I have had my personal accounts at Firstar Bank (which became US Bank) for nearly 20 years now so my ability to work directly with Mark relative to my accounts was only when he worked at Firstar, however, whenever I have banking or investing questions or needs I know I can go to Mark for the best advice. We regularly discuss investing and retirement strategies. Mark has very high integrity along with a customer-oriented focus and a personal drive to be among the best in anything he does. He and I see eye to eye on these concepts. Knowing Mark has these qualities is a huge relief in knowing that he really will help me do what is best for me, not just sell me something to sell me something!

Mark is a very good business banker who is always looking to help his clients find financial success. His banking experience makes him a great resource for any business owner to meet and get to know further. I have had the pleasure to know Mark for quite some time and have always enjoyed working with him on financing situations.
