Mark is a retired engineering professional with a 35-year career in the utility industry, culminating in an executive role at the Tennessee Valley Authority. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of South Carolina and is passionate about community engagement.
Originally from Allendale, South Carolina, Mark is a married father of two boys. His interest in engineering began in his childhood, driven by a deep curiosity for taking things apart to understand how they function, a passion he now shares with his sons.
As a child, his curiosity about how things work once led to him accidentally knocking out the power to his familys house.
