When Mark was around four, the family moved to Augusta, where he was raised and educated. He was voted the handsomest boy in high school.

He spent several years living in Lodi Vecchio, Italy, and later, in Washington, D.C. His most recent trips were to San Miguel De Allende, Mexico, where he was considering a move.
Mark was a gentle soul who loved animals. He had a great eye for beauty and collected antiques. He was known for his stylish hats, Italian shoes, prodigious memory, sweet disposition, and most of all, his love of family. In his later years he moved back to Augusta to be near his parents.
