One of Mark's passions was playing basketball and attending all Seattle Supersonic games with his father.

Mark was a third generation Cougar and attended Washington State University. He graduated from the School of Business in 1976. He went on to forge a career in real estate. Mark restored houses before flipping was a popular endeavor. He then transitioned into commercial real estate.

He never missed a Golden State Warriors basketball game. Mark enjoyed the history of art and antiques. He attended University Presbyterian Church, and was a regular diner at Chinook's restaurant.
