Mark begins every day by enjoying some coffee and a kale smoothie with his wife, Courtney, before coming into work and genuinely greeting all of his staff in the building that day.  Other than his morning greeting and the daily community lunch at Arthur’s, Mark’s favorite part about the job is that there is no typical day at work.  He loves to mentor and collaborate with the staff and has a passion for getting to know clients and seeing their expressions of joy when their events come to fruition.  Mark is the original Life of the Party and says that, “it is our staff’s deep and genuine care about the individual experience of our clients and guests that make Arthur’s The Life of the Party.”
