Mark fell in love with the game of golf at a young age after taking a lesson with his parents at a local course. Once the first golf ball was in the air, he was hooked! Mark grew up in Roanoke, VA playing high school golf and spending just about all of his free time at the course practicing and playing with friends. He graduated from Florida State University in 2008 with a degree in Business, Hospitality and Professional Golf Management, and he was elected to PGA membership the same year. Mark and his wife, Gretchen, made the move to northern Virginia in 2022, and he is currently the Head Golf Professional at Stonewall Golf Club, home of PMC Golf Academy. He loves teaching and coaching as the opportunities come, and his teaching style focuses on helping golfers utilize and channel their natural athletic ability while keeping enjoyment of the game front and center.
