Mark also was a National Merit and McDonalds All-American Scholar. Mark went on to graduate with a chemical engineering degree from Purdue University. He worked as a software engineer for Freedom Mortgage through Archwell for 4 years. Before working as a software engineer, he was a DJ for the band, KontraBand (originally The Franchize) where he toured with the band performing several shows across the country, including Amsterdam, Netherlands. Mark was a fun loving, kind, generous, funny, smart, and compassionate person. His love of his son, his family, music, and his friends was evident by anyone who knew him. Mark was very proud to be a father to Markus and looked forward to Markus graduating high school and beginning the next chapter of his life. Mark not only loved to DJ and play music, but he also enjoyed his family, spending time with his son, and hanging with his many friends. Mark was full of fun and joy and he made an impact on anyone who was around him.
