Mark is an award-winning author born in Philadelphia and educated at Temple University and the University of Pennsylvania.
After spending 35 years as a leader in the public sector, Mark has turned his attention toward examining and writing on America's cultural and social issues.
His opinionated, muckraking style of writing exposes the underbelly of business and political practices. While he explores mainly American economics, business, education, and politics, Mark’s focus is on the difficulties of getting by in America, especially for the middle class. Sociological patterns underlying business, cultural, and political behaviors are analyzed through a critical, sarcastic, and sometimes humorous lens.
America, We Have the Country We Want, is a set of centrist observations and reflections intended to entertain and enlighten with commentary on some of today's most talked about social issues: business, education, society, religion & guns, and the media. Mark shares why he believes Americans are comfortable with the familiar, even when the familiar is bad for us.
Mark's newest book, America We Need a Raise examines America's disappearing middle class and offers a set of remedies to offset poor political and business decision making. Middle class income continues to shrink while the prices of commodities and services grow. Higher paying middle class skilled jobs have been replaced with low paying retail and service work. It doesn’t have to be this way. Mark’s proposed solutions could vastly improve the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans and their descendants while at the same time strengthen America’s economy.
