After 5 years, Mark left to work with a small ‘boutique’ wealth management firm and decided to study for and become an Investment Advisor Representative and fiduciary. He then found the perfect fit with Select Wealth Advisers and as they say…the rest is history.

Upon returning to the US, he worked in the airline and hospitality industries before finding his calling in financial services. In the longer version of the story, he also earned a private pilot’s license along the way.
