A brief bio from Mark himself covering his musical origins and influences as well as a look at his past, present and future musical endeavors:

"The Fates Warning Era: We had a tough time getting a deal for the band as the music scene was changing. I got a call from Jim Matheos of Fates Warning. He wanted to know if I was interested in playing with Fates as they were thinking about a drummer change. Jim was a Warlord fan and we had met a few times in the past as I used to do drum tuning in the studio for Bill Metoyer at Metal Blade on many of the early Metal Blade releases. As things worked out I started working on material and before I knew it I was in Connecticut at the Carriage House Studios recording the Perfect Symmetry album. The past fourteen years have been spent with Fates doing several albums, both live and studio and several American and European tours. Recently, Fates toured with Dream Theater and Queensryche. I am very thankful for all of my experiences with Fates. I have been able to meet many people both in the music industry and general public that I consider friends. The music has been challenging as well as I have gotten to see the world doing what I love to do, Currently I am involved with several recording projects and plan to continue releasing albums and touring the world. I appreciate all of the fan support."
