Mark’s expertise in fiduciary law and financial planning allowed him the opportunity to lead several bank trust departments in the southeast from 1999 to 2008. In 2008, Mark founded Family Wealth Practices, LLC, a private, multi-family office with the goal of helping families overcome the “shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations” proverb. Mark has also participated in numerous disputes regarding trustee issues as both an institutional defendant and as an expert witness.

Mark has distinguished himself among his fellow colleagues by becoming a Certified Financial PlannerTM professional (CFP), an Accredited Estate Planner® (AEP), a Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU), a graduate from the Southern Trust School, and by serving as Chairman of the Estates and Trust section of the Mississippi Bar Association (2008-09). He is currently licensed to practice law in the State of Mississippi and is a member of the National Association of Estate Planning Councils, the Purposeful Planning Institute and the Collaboration for Family Flourishing.

Mark and his wife Jo-Shannon have been married twenty-nine years and live in Oxford, Mississippi. They have three children, Rachael-Catherine, Sam and Eli and are members of Pinelake Church. In his spare time, Mark enjoys exercising, hunting, reading and spending time with his family. He deeply believes in developing and maintaining strong family values, integrity and communication within his family and those he serves.
