He graduated from Holy Family, Holy Name High School in 1979 as Valedictorian. He pursued his Psychology & Science Degree at Bethany College in West Virginia.

He was an incredibly talented artist in several diverse pursuits. Whether he was sketching a model, painting a landscape on a canvas, or creating the most calming artistic quilts, Mark could create anything. After college, he designed & created custom outfits for runway models in Italy. His passion for fabrics & colors began at the age of 15, working closely with George the Tailor in New Bedford.
