Mark has been serving Thrivent clients since 2016 and is a founding member of Atlas Wealth Advisors.

He then attended Oklahoma Wesleyan University and earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration. Before transitioning to Thrivent, he was a retail sporting goods store owner for three years.
Mark supports several local organizations, including Operation Gateway and the Asheville Dream Center. His family also gives to global organizations including A21, which works to prevent human trafficking, Elevation Outreach, which seeks to meet the physical and spiritual needs of communities, and Samaritan's Purse, which brings physical relief and the hope of the Gospel to hurting people.
Mark married his best friend, Shawna, in 2015 at the base of beautiful Pearson Falls, just south of Asheville. They have two energetic sons, Kian and Declan. Mark enjoys exploring the remarkable nature in western North Carolina with his family. One of their favorite places to visit is Bent Creek Experimental Forest, where they love to hike with their boxer-hound, London.
