Mark is a writer, ordained minister, and the seventh of sixteen children. His upbringing—where faith, family, and fun collided daily—instilled in him a lasting love for laughter and resilience.
As the pastor of Full Armour Services, he enjoys teaching on the Judaic roots of Christianity and biblical history. Mark is the author of Sweet 16: A lively memoir of a family of sixteen and a contributor to It’s All in Your Head (2006).
Mark and his wife, Sharon, live in Tennessee, where they enjoy their growing tribe of nine grandchildren and family gatherings that are anything but quiet. Like Sweet 16, the fun never runs out.
