About
Hi! I'm Mark. Husband to an amazing wife, father to two fierce & loving daughters, and huge recipient of God's amazing grace.
I love connecting with people, helping them live the stories they were created for, and capturing some of it all to share with the world. Besides
the US, I've lived in Papua New Guinea & Tanzania, Africa, filmed for nonprofits on multiple continents, and visited about 20 countries so far.
I'm a licensed drone pilot, believer in the power of love, advocate for the poor, and drinker of dark roast coffee... No room for cream.
