Meet Mark

Blessed with a mom who taught him how to fight for what’s right, Mark grew up exposed to poverty's toughest challenges. But he also learned how much good government can help.

Mark and his mom, Lorraine, benefited from indispensable government programs like housing, nutritional support, quality public schools, and Medicaid. Eventually, Mark's mom earned dependable benefits from a union job. These helped Mark become not only the first in his family to go to college, but a successful small business leader,too.

Graduating from Franklin & Marshall College in 2000, Mark began working as a newspaper reporter and editor. It was then, 22 years ago, attending local township committee meetings, school board meetings, planning board meetings, and the like, he developed a passion for good local government and an appreciation for the positive impact it can make on people’s lives. The New Jersey Press Association honored Mark's work with nearly a dozen accolades.

For 17 years, Mark has been the Managing Editor of the same small publishing company, directing the editorial content for a variety of magazines. Here, too, he’s been recognized numerous times through the National Association of Real Estate Editors journalism awards.

Mark moved to Bucks County in 2005. He's served under both Republican and Democratic administrations and worked on a wide variety of issues, ranging from farmland preservation to zoning appeals and commercial revitalization. He was a founding member of a new chapter of the Lions Club, helping those in need here in Bucks County. Additionally, Mark was elected to Penndel’s Borough Council, where he served as vice president and led efforts to cut property taxes two years in a row. Now, he’s ready to put his 15 years of experience as a local leader to work for the residents of Middletown, Lower Southampton, Northampton, Langhorne, Langhorne Manor, and Penndel.

Public service is not just a job for Mark: it’s a passion.
