Mark’s impact extends beyond logistics. He manages the district athletics social media accounts, highlighting student and alumni achievements, promoting events, and connecting middle school athletes to feeder high school programs. He personalizes game-day experiences through technology like Sideline Interactive and the Turf Tank, enhances school spirit, and ensures facilities reflect pride and excellence. Mark has also led initiatives such as the annual baseball and softball conference tournament, Veterans Day recognitions, and compassionate responses to community tragedies, exemplifying leadership and empathy. A former teacher, coach, and assistant principal, Mark continues to mentor coaches, maintain facilities personally, and serve as a guiding force in the school community. His dedication, vision, and servant leadership leave an indelible mark on Troy Middle School athletics and the broader community.
