The highest ranked trainee of SEAL BUD/S, Mark served 9 years on active duty, 11 as a Reserve SEAL, and retired as Commander in 2011. His leadership of teams was so effective the government tasked him with creating a nationwide mentoring program for SEAL trainees. This program eventually became SEALFIT.

The author of 6 books: Unbeatable Mind, Staring Down the Wolf, The Way of the SEAL, 8 Weeks to SEALFIT, KOKORO Yoga, and his latest Uncommon. Writing about his experience for others triggered a realization of his own full-circle journey.

Mark’s many varied experiences have shaped his direction, but there is nothing that has had a bigger impact on his life than his time in the military. He has seen veterans give everything they have to protect their country, however on their return to civilian life, they often deal with physical, mental and emotional trauma – and it goes untreated. The Courage Foundation was founded to holistically help veterans heal themselves holistically and restore a sense of purpose, hope and connection.

Today, Mark continues to lead, teach, innovate and ideate. A sought-after speaker, insightful interviewer on his podcast Unbeatable Mind, and bestselling author he pushes limits and minds. A key component of his message is the importance of leveraging technology to positively impact the world.
