His love for globetrotting may not include Indiana Jones-style danger and intrigue, but many of Mark’s travels would certainly be the stuff of Indy’s legendary journal ... the entries would include jaunts to Austria, French Riviera, Italian Riviera, Rome, Oahu, and the Mediterranean, just to name a few.

Mark enjoys his occasional relaxing getaways with his family, but when he returns, it’s full steam ahead. His career began at USF&G Company, and from 1979 to 1985 Mark dove into underwriting and supervising underwriting in the commercial casualty department. When he joined Metzler Bros. in 1985, Mark began developing his skills as a Commercial Marketing Manager. As he delved deeper and learned more about the company, its ideals, and commitments, he felt compelled to become a more permanent fixture, securing partnership status in 1996.

To date, Mark has logged countless hours gaining intimate knowledge of the marketing, underwriting, commercial, agency administration, H.R., automation, sales and service departments of the company. He has worked diligently to improve the company’s customer oriented initiatives and corresponding internal systems, and has lead much of the new customer acquisition programs, using his self-coined quote, ‘Don’t overcomplicate things.’ as his guide.

Mark does not reserve his talents merely for the professional side of life, however. His personal development includes volunteering and membership in scouting, youth leagues, and church; as well as leadership roles in community and business organizations. His inability to say ‘no’ to those in need does indeed fill up his schedule, but at the same time, gives him a deep sense of satisfaction.
