Mark’s professional experience in independent schools began shortly after college. After a year teaching in a public school, Mark moved to Roanoke, Virginia and taught high school math throughout the 90’s at North Cross School. He has since worked in the for-profit and non-profit sectors, executing for-profit mergers and acquisitions, developing innovative solutions in the publishing industry, and managing finance and operations for a human services organization.
While proud to be a math geek, he’s also a creative problem solver with a unique breadth of business experiences that he brings to bear on school challenges. Moreover, he still loves the basics he used to teach (and we offer at GPS)—geometry and calculus—but finds finance to be a great extension and application of his fascination with mathematics.
Mark’s commitments outside of work include board commitments with MISBO, Reflection Riding, and a family trust; coaching, and leadership efforts with the scouts and youth sports leagues. In addition to spending time outdoors (camping and on the water), he enjoys live music, scuba diving, woodworking, and photography. And he’s on a quest to travel the country and world with his kids, including his goal to visit all the national parks. At GPS since 2016, Mark loves the day-to-day bustle of school life. “It’s fun to see the girls being girls—singing aloud in the cafeteria, supporting each other in all their endeavors,” he says.
