Mark is well acquainted with the struggles of the average man. Coming from a background of intense familial dysfunction, he went on to serve in the military and persue a passion for stock-car racing. However, the ravages of alcohol and pattern of dysfunction took its toll on his marriage & family.

After the tragic loss of his little girl, Mark began to search for answers. It was at this point that he came to know Christ.
