Mark grew up in Seattle playing competitive baseball. After a rotator cuff injury, he switched to competitive golf. In 2003, a friend of Mark’s talked him into doing his first running race, a marathon. 10 marathons later, the same friend talked him into doing his first triathlon, Ironman Canada.

Mark believes anyone can become a successful triathlete if they adopt the three D’s: Desire, Dedication, and Discipline. When not training, he enjoys spending time with his family and friends. Mark is very excited to be working alongside his training partner and wife, Teresa, and he enjoys supporting and mentoring her as well as TN Multisport athletes.

Not only is Mark a running and triathlon coach, he is also TN Multisports’ sponsorship coordinator. If you are interested in sponsorship opportunities with TN Multisports, please contact Mark.
