After graduation from Nathan Hale High School in 1966, he pursued a BS degree in Civil Engineering at WSU in Pullman, WA, graduating in 1970 with high honors.

He eventually became VP of engineering and then part owner of the company.

Mark and Sue raised their family in Spokane valley where they resided for 45 years. On their five acres in the country Mark enjoyed wildlife, tractoring and upon retirement, rebuilding a 1948 Ford panel van in his Garco “barn.” He spent many wonderful summers with family and friends at their cabin on the Pend Oreille River.
