Mark began his experience as a co-op with Messer before becoming a full-time employee in 1987. That same year, he received an associate’s degree in construction management from Cincinnati State Technical and Community College.
Over his tenure, Mark has gained estimating, project management and executive leadership experience in industrial, parking garages, health care and higher education projects. His comprehensive experience also includes renovation, restoration, complex structures and design-build projects. In 2004, he led the renovation of Berea College’s Lincoln Hall: the first LEED-certified building in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Mark served as operations vice president for the Lexington region, where his leadership and executive counsel were highly sought, particularly during preconstruction. Mark’s project expertise and leadership helped him progress to his current role as vice president for Messer’s Lexington region. He provided executive oversight for the $250M Lexington Convention Center project.
