Mark has served as the News Editor for the Amherst Wire, interned for the Daily Hampshire Gazette, written hundreds of stories for Boston.com and the Boston Globe, and covered breaking news for mySanAntonio.com and the San Antonio Express-News.

In San Antonio, Mark has developed an ear for police and fire scanners and the skills — both on-scene and in the public records — necessary to tell criminal justice stories. He's no good at dodging wooden bullets.

In Boston, Mark wrote feature stories about local celebrities, explainers that boiled complex issues down to concise and informative narratives, and quick-hit posts that localized national stories or put a fresh twist on social media content.

He has an eye for intriguing story ideas and the writing chops to turn them into crisp copy.

Mark has learned from outstanding editors and reporters, as well as SEO specialists and audience engagement experts. He prides himself on a relentless worth ethic and his skills run the gamut from anchoring a newscast to assembling a newsletter.

Mark spent two years as a Division I athlete before focusing on journalism. He loves driving towards a common goal as part of a team — and outworking the competition.

He also has six years of school-break experience in construction and spent another summer burying the dead at a cemetery. He's still searching for the right way to fit that into the Skills section.
