Mark was born in Newport, R.I., and - as the son of a career Navy officer - grew up near water: in the San Diego, Seattle and Washington, D.C. metro areas. His first official residence in the Midwest came in 1986, when he moved to Lawrence to attend Kansas University, where he would receive a degree in journalism.

Mark has been reporting stories for much of his life. His first professional gig included covering sports at his high school for a local paper in northern Virginia; then came internships in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Wichita, and part-time work for the Kansas City Star and Times.

He worked for the Hutchinson News briefly before returning to Lawrence in November 1992 to join the staff at the Journal-World.

When he's not at work, Mark enjoys eating bacon, playing golf and softball, and trying to keep up with his wife, Susie - whose running credits include completion of the Boston Marathon - and their two kids, Erin and Max.
