He served four years in the United States Air Force, he masterfully managed to learn the art of building relationships during his transition. Mark’s hard work and innovativeness really paid off, he subsequently had six job offers in Silicon Valley following his military service.

Admittedly, Mark claims his parents have always known him to be entrepreneurial, this has shaped and changed his trajectory in a great way. Straight out of the military, Mark credits much of his success to seeking out mentors to meet over a cup of coffee; then nurturing the relationship- something he learned so well, Mark now specializes in training young talent communities with these kinds of rare skills to help them make it into the business world.
