Why Mark?

I'm not your typical real estate agent. Most probably don't have a Computer Science degree and over 10 years of experience as a software engineer.If you work with me I promise to use these critical thinking skills I've developed to approach every transaction with precision, data-driven insight, and a problem-solving mindset. Whether it's pricing a home competitively, negotiating a deal, or analyzing market trends, I'll bring the same level of detail and logic that helped me thrive in the tech world.I also have hands on experience doing home remodels and new construction. I've done everything from total gut jobs to starting fresh with a piece of vacant land. I can spot quality craftsmanship, identify potential issues before they become problems, and help clients see the true potential in a property—whether it's a fixer-upper or new build.But beyond the problem solving and real estate knowledge, I care deeply about people. Having served my community, through my local church, for over ten years people aren't just a transaction to me. I know that buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions you'll ever make. I'll take the time to truly understand your goals and walk with you every step of the way - clear communication, zero pressure, and total transparency. You deserve someone who’s not just knowledgeable, but genuinely invested in your success.

About

I was born and raised in Columbia, Missouri, and I honestly can’t imagine calling anywhere else home. I was homeschooled growing up, which gave me a lot of independence and a real love for learning. After high school, I went on to graduate from Columbia College with a degree in Computer Science, and I’ve been lucky to build a career that mixes my love for technology and working with people.Since 2014 I've worked in the Information Systems department at MidwayUSA and more recently as a REALTOR® with Iron Gate Real Estate. Along the way, I’ve also gained a lot of hands-on experience remodeling homes and working on new construction projects. I’ve always loved working with my hands and seeing a project come together, and that’s definitely shaped how I see homes and properties.Outside of work, I try to stay pretty active. I love playing disc golf, biking on the Katy Trail, and just being outside whenever I can. I’m married to my best friend, and we have two young kids who keep life busy and fun. Most weekends, you’ll find us exploring a park, having a family movie night, or just hanging out in the front yard.Faith and community are a big part of my life too. I’m involved in the men’s ministry at my church, and I’m really thankful for the friendships and support I’ve found there. Whether it’s at work, at home, or with my church family, I’m all about building strong relationships and doing life with people around me.
