About Mark:

Mark grew up in northern Ohio and attended the University of Toledo where he earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He has been active in the pneumatics and hydraulics mobile market for more than 40 years.

Mark has always had a passion for figuring out how things work and go together, often frustrating his parents as a child by tearing things apart and putting them back together. He employees this hands-on approach to his day-to-day activities through new product development, or by making minor tweaks for a product to deliver the perfect customer solution.

“Alkon offers a caring and family-oriented environment for all employees, where everyone enjoys working together to make quality products backed by exceptional service,” says Mark. “There is nothing better than developing a product that perfectly meets the customer’s needs. I’m always looking for that win-win opportunity that helps forge a partnership of winning.”

Mark raises some eyebrows when out on the golf greens. While he swings all of his golf clubs right-handed, he putts left-handed! Over time, he has found the most success by putting opposite handed and has just rolled with it. When he’s not dreaming about building something, he enjoys traveling with his family, working on his golf game, and enjoying life.
