Loyalty Pawn Family

We have made huge strides to breed our Vision, Values and Goals and really practice what we preach. I have seen many changes in the last few months but none more than the spirit of our culture. As you all know Loyalty Pawn was recognized and nominated for being one of the best places to work in Sacramento. This is such a great accomplishment and we should all be proud, I know I am, so great job everyone! The Loyalty Pawn family is growing and it’s important to keep up with knowing each of the members of our family, not just occasionally speaking to them over the phone. One way to keep up with the growing family is that I will be going around conducting interviews with everyone and getting to know them on a personal level.

This month we are going to get to know Mark Xiong, the recently promoted store manager of the Florin location. Mark was born December 2, 1983, in Stockton California. Mark has been in the pawn industry for just over 7 years. His areas of expertise are fishing, camping and outdoor equipment. Mark has recently finished his course in GIA for jewelry diamond and colored stone essentials. In his personal life, Mark is the oldest sibling of 9. His hobbies consist of avid hiking, hunting, fishing, collecting guns and anything that has to do with the outdoors. His dream is to one day buy a bunch of land out in the middle of nowhere and become a hunting guide. He loves learning and teaching the art of primitive technology where nature provides all the resources you need to survive. As of now, he is passing down the knowledge to his son Ethan(10), who dreams to follow in dad's footsteps. His daughter Kayleen(13) also enjoys going out on hunting trips and known to be pretty good with a rifle. Family means everything to the Xiong’s, he is always finding new and exciting adventures to share with his loved ones. It could be as small as going to check out a waterfall called Eagle Falls in Lake Tahoe or traveling all the way to the Eiffel tower in France. It is easy to say if you’re looking for something exciting to do outdoors, call Mark. There has been one huge milestone for Mark and his wife of 14 years Aline they recently have crossed, after searching for about 3 months they have purchased their first house and is now working hard with their family to make it a home.

Mark was asked what he loved about working for Loyalty pawn his response was simple “everyday is always different and I have the opportunity to make a difference in the community by helping our clients”. He enjoys working for Loyalty Pawn because of the culture and it feels like a family dynamic with opportunity to better himself and grow within the company. One of his biggest struggles has been that in the last few years he hasn’t been able to bring a deer home but is not willing to give up. In the picture you see Mark in one of his many adventures with his family, this one he went out for a goose hunt in Hogan Lake.
