Mark was born and raised in Minot, North Dakota. At the age of 19 Mark moved to Tempe, Arizona to attend college. Mark graduated from Arizona State University in 1993 with a degree in political science. Mark married his wife during the summer of 1993. After scoring in the top 3% in the country on LSAT, Mark was offered academic scholarships from several prestigious law schools.

Mark graduated from law school in three years.
Mark’s first child was due the day Mark was scheduled to take the bar exam. However, his first of three sons came one week early so the bar exam was a breeze for Mark. After being admitted to practice law, Mark worked for a local criminal defense attorney by the name of David B. Smith before he decided to join the Maricopa County Public Defender’s Office. While at the public defender’s office Mark got immeasurable experience. Within two years Mark was lead counsel for several homicide cases. During Mark’s three years at the office Mark won over 20 felony trials and got many more felonies dismissed.
