He’s been acting since high school and has enjoyed every moment of it. He’s performed in many plays, including Shakespeare projects such as Romeo & Juliet, Much Ado About Nothing, The Tempest, and a different production of The Taming of the Shrew. Lately, he’s focused on acting in front of a camera; this is his first time back on stage in a while, and he’s happy to do it with such an amazing and talented cast and crew.

What’s in a bio? That which we call a Mark by any other name would [still] smell. Shameless, I know, but I forgot to ask Chat how to write a bio (ahem, Leo). And so, here I am charged to write what I have not in so many years. 

Setting frivolous chat aside, Mark was born and raised in the Bay Area of Northern California, graduated from UC Davis, then made his way to New York and began his training at Circus Warehouse. Gigging circus, theater, dance, and opera, Mark left NY for a stunt tour with Feld Inc. upon completion he landed in sunny Southern California. Here he is enjoying life creating with friends. 

This is one such creation.

He is thrilled to return to his first artistic home—the stage—and is grateful to the cast, crew, creative team, and everyone who made this production possible. He has loved the challenge of tackling classical text and is excited to make his Shakespearean debut. He hopes you enjoy the show!
