Born and raised in Bozeman, MT, Mark came to Utah State University with the intent to receive a meaningful education, progress towards law, and contribute to the betterment of socioeconomic issues. He is very interested in gaining a better understanding of the impact mental health issues have on student success. With some peers at school, Mark has started a small organization to help students during or after school to engage in meaningful service activities which will help them be able to go outside of themselves in order to heal themselves. He personally enjoys reading, cooking, the outdoors, any form of sport or physical activity, and being with his family.
