Mark has been consulting, designing and building Web solutions for businesses and organizations for over 15 years. With a business background and an entrepreneurial mindset, he has long recognized the important role that the Internet would play in today’s changing marketplace. In 1998, during the "dot-com boom", Mark began teaching himself how to build Web sites for his then employer while also attending graduate school in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
After graduating with a Masters in Business Administration, Mark moved to Kansas City and began a full-time career with the largest publicly-traded global management consulting, technology services and outsourcing company. As a consultant in their telecommunications and high-tech division, Mark was responsible for delivering software solutions for several of the company’s Fortune 500 clients, including the development of an exceptionally well-received text messaging gateway.
Some might call Mark a “serial entrepreneur”. He has a reputation for knowing what will work and bringing his ideas to fruition. In 2003, Mark joined Standard Investment Co. and currently serves as Executive Vice President of the company. Part of his responsibilities include heading up their Web consulting and services division, GoWeb1.com. In his role with GoWeb1.com, Mark is able to work with an array of businesses and organizations to help them design, build, implement and market Web solutions that not only incorporate best practices – but also provide maximum return on their investment.
Mark serves on several local Boards of Directors and is actively involved in associations, clubs and not-for-profit organizations throughout the Springfield community, including:
- Board Member of the Illinois Capital Area Chapter of the American Red Cross
- Past Board Member of Leadership Springfield
- Past Board Member of the MacArthur Boulevard Merchant Association

When Mark is not working and in front of his laptop he enjoys spending his leisure time with his family and friends boating, fishing, scuba diving, hiking, wake-boarding and snow-boarding.
