Mark achieved the rank of Eagle Scout at age 13. He graduated from Indiana University with a business degree. Mark had a passion for flying, inherited from his father who was a military pilot as well as a captain for USAir. He was a fighter pilot, flying the F-100 and F-4 for the Indiana National Guard.  Mark had a career as a Captain for Delta Airlines where he flew the MD-80, The Boeing 727, 757, 767. His five brothers are also  commercial airline captains.

As described by his daughter, he was the All-American Fighter Pilot, extreme sports junkie, extended road trip navigator, spontaneous adventure lover, steadfast partner to his wife, sayer of yes to all things asked of by his granddaughter Kylie, fierce protector of his family, lovable bad influence to his five brothers, their wives, and numerous nieces and nephews. There wasn't anything he couldn't fix, build, or accomplish. He was remarkably loyal and trustworthy, and a defier of doctors' predictions. Mark's incredible wit will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
