Having spent his youth in Marblehead, Massachusetts, Mark gained a love for the water and a life-long fascination with all things nautical.  At ten years old, a Boston Globe newspaper route along the harbor earned him the funds to purchase his first fixer-upper boat, and the passion became real.

After spending the first half of his career pursuing his other passion, working in the snow ski industry, Mark came full circle over twenty years ago, moving to the Chesapeake Bay and venturing head first into the nautical industry.  In addition to working for a couple of the region's premier yacht brokerages, Mark also ran marinas and hospitality properties on the Eastern Shore through his hospitality consulting business.  As the Manager at Bay Bridge Marina, he gained the opportunity to become a partner in one of the Mid-Atlantic’s premier sailboat and catamaran dealerships, and he set course on a new adventure here in Annapolis.

According to Mark, although he very much enjoyed assisting his talented team and steering the day-to-day business operations, he found he missed working directly with boat buyers and sellers and helping families make their nautical dreams a reality. When the opportunity came to retire from his ownership role, he set his course toward working with a Brokerage house he held in the highest regard for their professionalism and reputation, David Walters Yachts.  Mark knows he will enjoy representing high-quality sailboats, powerboats, trawlers, and catamarans and assisting various owners and brokerage clients.

As a full-time Broker, Mark is very much looking forward to catching up with past clients, to meeting some new friends, and to working closely with each customer, assisting them in every aspect of buying or selling their dream boat. If you are in the market to purchase or sell a quality yacht, or if you want to trade boating stories, please give Mark a call.
