Assigned to the 347th Fighter Wing, he was lead prosecutor for numerous criminal trials and defended the U.S. Government in civil actions brought under the Federal Torts Claim Act, often in conjunction with the U.S. Attorney's Office. He consulted for and advised the Air Force base commander on a variety of other civil matters and represented the Air Force in employment discrimination cases before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Upon leaving Air Force active duty in 1996, Mark practiced with civil litigation defense firms in Connecticut and handled a wide range of cases including products liability, premises liability, medical malpractice, auto and construction defect matters. He tried a number of cases to verdict with noteworthy success. He later joined an international aviation law firm in 2003, and relocated to Florida in 2005. Mark litigated complex cases on a national and international basis involving major air disasters and general aviation accidents, and appeared before various Courts in Florida and other parts of the country. Most of these cases involved complex claims for catastrophic injury and death, product defect, pilot and aircraft operator error, faulty maintenance, and improper aircraft inspection and repair. Mark joined the Firm of Krupnick Campbell, et al in 2009. His practice focused on representing individuals in complex cases involving defective products, auto accidents, aviation accidents, construction mishaps, and premises liability.

Moved by the tragedy in Sandy Hook, Mark composed and performed his tribute "Images of You" which received nationwide attention and acclaim. Mark's compassion for others was boundless. Mark will be fondly remembered by his family, friends, and colleagues as a "Renaissance Man" - a true intellectual - enormously talented in the arts, sciences, and in his profession. His artistic achievements ranged from painting to classical music. He was respected as a consummate gentleman and trial attorney, respectful and courteous to all. Most importantly, he will be remembered as a wonderful husband, son, and father. He was forever devoted to his family, the center of his life.
