 Mark and his extraordinary wife, Bethel, have six astounding children. He's a fierce advocate for children from hard places and the families that care for them. Mark left a three-decade career as a software engineer to support families worldwide through parent coaching, training, and speaking. He also blogs and is a moderator of the 14,000-member Facebook group called Parenting with Connection. His parent coaching business is called Seen and Heard Coach.

Originally, Mark was an old-school parent. He and Bethel adopted two children from foster care and discovered that everything they thought they knew about parenting left them woefully unprepared for the hand that their new children were dealing them. Bethel dragged Mark to his first trauma-informed parenting conference, sparking his insatiable curiosity. He turned his inner engineer to the problem of becoming a connected parent, studying not only the books and videos but also the research they cited. Then he became a TBRI practitioner.

Combining the logical and analytical mind of an engineer with the hard-won experience of a parent who is still in the trenches, Mark makes complex topics accessible and meets parents where they are with compassion, understanding, acceptance, affirmation, and most importantly hope. His vulnerability about his own failures makes him persuasive without judgment or shame.

His dad superpowers are that he can lose at Candy Land while making it look real and reading the same bedtime story every night for a year. He can also bake after midnight for suddenly remembered classroom events, simultaneously being declared both the worst dad ever and the best dad ever, and stepping on Legos in the dark—ouch—and finding long-lost tools while mowing the grass.
