After gaining valuable experience in the Seafood Industry, Mark opened a successful restaurant in Lakewood, Colorado, called the "New England Chowda House". He operated the restaurant for 10 years, but then the long hours and the demands of a young family prompted him to seek out other opportunities, and luckily, he landed at Kirkpatrick Brokerage Company.
