At a young age, just entering middle school, Mark took a required music class and subsequently forced to learn basic acoustic guitar. He hated it! Set the guitar down as soon as was allowed and thought, "I'm never going to play this instrument." A short three years later, "80's" metal took hold of him and his older sister's totally cool boyfriend taught him a few power chords and scales - Mark was hooked. He and two friends started a high school power trio playing Dokken, Ratt, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden covers, even throwing in a few originals. Graduation, and all the changes that came with it hit them like a brick, and Mark was suddenly left alone without a band. A successful audition with a Minneapolis band compelled a move to the town and Mark collaborated with his new bandmates in an all original thrash band that had mild success. Mark hung it up, started a family and fell into his career. All these years later, Mark says, "It feels so good to dust off the chops and fire this back up, my true love resurfacing again." Mark is excited to be in Mortal End. He's having the time of his life Collaborating once again with fellow bandmates writing heavy metal music that sends out a positive message and proclaims the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
