Mark’s father died when he was six years old, leaving him to be raised by his single mother and two older brothers. It’s been suggested by friends, family members, and licensed therapists that much of Mark’s darkly humorous sensibilities come from his experiences during this time. At 18, Mark moved to New York City and enrolled at Columbia University. While there, Mark wrote prolifically for the humor section of the Columbia Spectator, explored the city, and soon graduated with a degree in Creative Writing. At age 21, Mark took his wit and creativity to Los Angeles. He's written for numerous comedy websites including McSweeney's and Cracked. He' written numerous screenplays, TV pilots, novels, and short stories. For the past year Mark has been cracking wise and mouthing off while co-hosting his weekly Podcast, Best Of The Best. His writing is every bit the mixed breed that he is; funny, thoughtful, and sharp edged.view less
