Mark grew up in northern Illinois spending the majority of his youth playing hockey in the colder months and backpacking in the summers.

While taking a trip through the Southeast in 2006, he fell in the love with the Asheville area and all the outdoor wonders therein. Spending most weekends on the trails with his wife, son and rescue dog. Transitioning from restaurant management to construction 8 years ago, and finding the desire to build housing for people just as deep as feeding them. Mark brings dedication to effectively bring structures to life from drawings, materials and the people who make it all coalesce.
