Mark launched:

- Brave Enough Artist Agency in 2016 (National booking agency for artists and speakers)

- Brave Enough Productions in 2019 (Photography and videography for artists to elevate their brand)

- Taikai Esports in 2020 (Collegiate and Community Esports Tournaments, VR Pop-Up events)

- Labelcoin in 2021 (Think Robinhood for songs).

Under his direction, Brave Enough quickly grew to be one of the top music agencies in the highly competitive College Market - being awarded the National Agency of the Year in 2019 by the colleges of the Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities (APCA), with Brave Enough acts also gaining top awards as Band of the Year, Entertainer of the Year, and Female Artist of the Year.

Mark has served as an artist mentor for Nashville’s H.O.M.E. and the Arts & Business Council of Greater Nashville, and in numerous roles for the National Association for Campus Activities (NACA), most recently representing the National Convention as the Associate Representative on the Associate Advisory Group.

Currently, Mark devotes his working hours to stamping out artistic poverty through Labelcoin, and his non-working hours to his wife and two kids and their community in Redding, CA. He can occasionally be found in the metaverse engaged in Population:One. This is his favorite place to conduct business meetings.
