He obtained his BA from Mercyhurst College in Erie, PA, with a concentration in hospitality and business management.  Upon completing his degree, he operated various restaurants in Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Tampa.  Twenty-two years ago, he had opted to join his family insurance agency.  Mark has obtained his CIC (Certified Insurance Counselor) designation and continues to thrive in the Commercial Insurance arena.  His vast experience and knowledge of business insurance exposures have made him a valuable, trusted advisor to his clients.

Proactively educating and protecting his clients is Mark’s philosophy – He believes insurance is not a commodity but a process.  His process involves analyzing the specific business needs and exposures, properly matching coverages, risk management techniques, and general education to his clients.  The best client for Mark is an “Educated Client.”  He thrives on the challenges to provide his clients with solutions to manage their risks.
