Mark, originally from Islip, NY, made his way down to North Carolina to attend UNC-Greensboro. A lifelong athlete, Mark was all about basketball, baseball, and lacrosse during his college days. But life happens—graduation, marriage, and raising two kids meant his athletic pursuits took a backseat for a while. Eventually, though, he found his way back into fitness, starting with running and leveling up to triathlons. He didn’t stop there—Mark crushed an Ironman distance and several ½ Ironman races before discovering CrossFit a decade ago, which has been his go-to ever since.

As a CrossFit Level 2 trainer, Mark thrives on helping members achieve their “firsts”—whether it’s a pull-up, a heavy lift, or an ambitious goal they never thought possible. His coaching style is all about empowering people to break through limits and become the strongest, most confident versions of themselves.

When he’s not coaching, Mark is probably cheering on his kids, tackling a workout, or sharing a laugh with the gym community. He’s here to make fitness challenging, fun, and rewarding.
