Growing up on a ranch his granddad worked, Mark was always interested in horses, cattle, and rodeo. All through school that’s all he wanted to do. At a very young age he was horseback helping his granddad. Once in school he started learning cowboy poetry where he was asked to perform at several organizations, benefits, and banquets. So he’s always had the gift of the gab. Once he was old enough to start rodeoing he wanted to ride bulls. He didn’t do very well at being a bull rider so he started trying to be a bullfighter. Then one day he realized he would be much better off using his God-given talent and started being a dound engineer and playing music. He quickly found out he could last a lot longer and get paid for it too. He quickly started to succeed at this trade and in 2009 he joined the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, where he has worked at PRCA Rodeos for several years. In 2011 he was selected to work as the music director for the International Finals Rodeo where he has wored that event for 15 years consecutively. In 2016 he was chosen to work the Prairie Circuit Finals Rodeo as music director, 2018 Columbia River Circuit Finals Rodeo, 2023 Mark was selected to be the Music Director for the Wrangler National Finals Steer Roping. Mark says he owes all his success to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and he wouldn’t be where he is today if it wasn’t for him!
