BIO
Mark's mother, a master storyteller in her own right, claims that he taught himself to read and write. Whatever the truth may be, he began a lifelong obsession by writing episodes of "Star Trek" and issues of "Spider-man" for himself as a young boy. After earning a master's degree in creative writing, he spent twenty-five years adulting in political communication before returning his focus to his true loves - screenwriting and playwriting. He has twice been recommended by The Black List, and he has studied screenwriting with the Sundance Collab, the Stowe Story Labs, and the Catalyst Story Institute. Currently, he's drafting a novel set in the world of "CHNL x."
