Mark moved to Atlanta, Georgia after graduating from the University of Florida to attend Emory University Medical School. Mark married Barbara Rose Wollner from Atlanta, Georgia in 1972. They moved to Oberlin Park, Kansas for Mark's residency where he was Chief Medicine Resident at Kansas City General Hospital.

Mark was active in leadership roles in the community serving as President of B'nai Brith Men's Group, medical staff for the 1996 Olympics, and Chairman of the board at St. Francis Hospital.
