Mark's passion for golf was passed on through his father, as he was introduced to golf as a child. He played in high school, and then played for enjoyment with friends as my kids grew up. Mark is a stroke survivor, and used golf to help recover from the effects of the stroke. He currently lives in La Quinta, California. Mark currently works at the Springs Golf and Country Club in Rancho Mirage. This is his third club as an assistant pro. He has a fun personality, and you will laugh during any coaching session with him.
