Mark grew up in Mechanicville, New York and is the Middle of 3 brothers. He’s always been entrepreneurial and almost got suspended in school for selling candy on a class field trip. He would buy candy at wholesale and sell to other students at retail.

Watching his friends spend their lunch money on candy - Mark learned that people buy on emotion, then later make sense of their purchase through logic (convincing themselves WHY it was a good purchase)

After his first entrepreneurial dreams were shattered by school rules, he started working odd jobs in exchange for money. It didn’t take long until he realized, if he ever wanted an abundance of money he would have to find a way to make money work for him.

When AOL Dialup was popular, Mark would run home from school, trying to connect before everyone on the block did. But instead of doing normal things, Mark obsessed over the pop-ups and internet Ads. He would opt in to every business opportunity and get rich quick strategies he could find. But apparently spamming people and sending out bulk mailings didn’t pan out to be as lucrative as Mark had dreamed it would be. Not to mention, how long it takes to send a 1,000 emails on a 56k Modem when everyone on the block is using a shared web service.

Ambitious and Hungry to figure this internet thing out, Mark left home for San Antonio, Texas. He enrolled in classes at Our Lady Of The Lake University, which (in 1999) was the only school in the country to offer E-Commerce as an undergraduate major.

Determined to make it BIG - Mark spent many nights up late programming in his dorm room. This led to oversleeping and missing classes. Getting MOSTLY A’s on assignments and tests, his school had a policy that for every two classes missed, he'd drop a full letter grade - going from a 3.95 GPA all the way down to a 2.80. The companies he pursued after college required a 3.5 GPA or higher, which he could not show on his transcript.

Mark continued pursuing other online ventures - into his 30’s - none of which panned out for him.

Then one day - he picked up a book called Dot Com Secrets, by Russel Brunson. It was though he entered a time machine. He recognized Russell's name and knew parts of his journey from nearly 20 years earlier. Russel obsessed over the same things Mark did. "Was this a sign to return to where it all began? I think so."
