Hey, I’m Mark, the visionary and driving force behind Arena Association. I’m currently living a double life: full-time mines rescue, full-time business owner. Mining and preservation might look wildly different on the outside, but really they’re about the same thing: constant search & discovery. Whether I’m working in the  mines, or on the land, I bring the same determination to get the get the job done right. I don’t have any fancy degrees or business certifications. You won’t catch me in a three-piece suit wearing a Rolex. What I do have is common sense, creativity and determination to succeed. I’m just an average guy with a whole lot of get-up-and-go, looking for a way to bring back the wilderness and make the life of animals a little happier, all while setting my own schedule and living life to the fullest.
