biography

mark has served as machinist for the raymond b. jones college of engineering since 2007. he’s been gifted by the lord in such a way as to see, understand, and make things work through design and machine strategy. his motto for our students is, “i’ll take an idea and put it in your hands,” and he loves working with students and helping them understand the bridge between theory and reality.

he works one-on-one to teach students how to use any of the equipment in our machine shop and guides them to create whatever they imagine (from titanium chopsticks to reciprocating engines). mark and his wife, angelisa, have 2 beautiful children: jayde and lucas.
