About Mark »

A native Nashvillian, I grew up watching the Dixie Flyers of the ECHL. I have always followed the NHL and I'm passionate about the Nashville Predators. I have been fortunate to let my children grow up watching the NHL, and seeing the joy on their face at a game is priceless. By day, I am a partner in an investment management company. A graduate of the University of South Carolina, where I played football, and the LSU Graduate School of banking. I am the father of two children and the husband of one wife (that's plenty).
