FOUNDER & CEO OF FOUNTAIN FORWARD - FOUNDER #SAMEHERE C-SUITE - CO-FOUNDER OF BOAT COUNT INVESTMENTS
I was born in Wisconsin, live in Houston and I love to build, invest in, and market small businesses! My passion is to share stories about business, mental health, friends, and personal development. I didn’t learn in a traditional manner, so I’m here documenting “lived experiences” to help you on your personal journey regardless of how you learn. Whether it’s helping you take calculated risks, avoiding unnecessary failure, or merely helping you think through your current situation, I love seeing people make the most pragmatic decision!
I am proud to lead a team of motivated individuals at Fountain Forward since 2011.

A Year of Growth… Together.
I spent this last week in Tahoe with my girlfriend Elizabeth celebrating our one year anniversary.
It was time to snowboard and relax!
I haven't snowboarded very much in the last 15 years so snowboarding with her for the first time was a real treat to say the least. The first thing that stuck out to me was how much I genuinely enjoyed supporting her on the mountain. I kept turning my head watching her and rooting her on. That meant a lot to me.
Big Moves for Big Mark
A week of small, progressive, wins.
First of all, things really progressed with my father. I can’t express in words how proud I am of him. For being a stubborn old man (I mean that with love) he has made some hard decisions this past week and kept his promises.
Promises that are going to benefit him and the rest of the family, but are incredibly difficult as I’ve mentioned previously.
