He got his start in radio at Monmouth University’s student-run radio station, WMCX 88.9 FM and upon graduating worked for local radio, WCHR The Hawk 105.7. Mark was next hired as an on-air talent at WKZQ New Rock in Myrtle Beach and then moved to Chicago where he worked at iHeart Radio and Good Day Chicago TV before taking over first as the host of the Morning Drive at WRXQ.

When asked about his time at Monmouth University and WMCX, Mark said, “Monmouth University gave me the tools for success in radio: from an amazing program concentrating on all aspects of the business, to learning on top of the line equipment, in addition to unlimited time on-air to hone my on-air skills.”
