Mark co-founded Highway 12 Ventures in 2000 and has been in the venture capital industry since 1995 when he joined Atlantic Capital Group, a Boston-based private equity firm as a general partner. Prior to his career in venture capital, he spent nearly a decade in the financial services industry after attending Lehigh University.
Mark is a director of multiple Highway 12 portfolio companies and the Chairman of the Rocky Mountain Venture Capital Association. He is also a mentor at TechStars in Boulder, an incredibly successful mentorship-driven seed stage investment program. Passionate about Boise and Idaho, he serves on the advisory board of the Boise State University College of Engineering as well as the Board of Directors of the Idaho Hockey Foundation, as well as co-chairing the Idaho Business Council. Mark was a founding board member of the Idaho Technology Council and is also formerly President of the Board of Directors of the Discovery Center of Idaho, Boise’s wonderful science museum. He enjoys playing hockey with his pals, mountain & road biking and camping in the back-country of Idaho with his family and friends, and delights with his wife Pam in the wonder of watching their kids turn into young adults. To the never-ending amusement of his partners, you might walk into his office shortly after lunchtime and find Mark enjoying a quick cat nap…
