Founding member of 'The Ides of Mark' in 1978, and later co-founder (with Robert) of the Connecticut-based group, 'Pioneer,' Mark has re-emerged with new Original music in his signature style, with enhanced production and arrangements afforded now through the advances in digital recording technologies.  Mark, formerly a High-School Teacher, is an Entrepreneur, Lionel-Train enthusiast, and an avid song-writer, with influences that range from Buddy Holly to Brian Wilson & Jan Berry, and back again to Buddy Holly!  In Pioneer, Mark primarily was Rhythm Guitarist, Lead Vocals, Backing Vocals, and shared the songwriting duties with Robert.  Today, as in the days of Pioneer, Mark performs all of the same tasks in addition to both Upright-Grand Piano and Electronic Keyboards.  With Robert in the Production Booth, these songs have been brought to a point at which, they enjoy a life of their own!
