Got a small business? Mark can help you! Combining his dynamic personality with his background of pursuing excellence, Mark brings a unique one-of-a-kind quality to all that he does.

Graduating with Highest Distinction, Mark earned two undergraduate degrees, in three years, with straight-As, in Business Administration and in Accounting.

From there, he started off as a Controller for a company in Portland, Maine. When his successful trend analysis accurately forecast the need for additional outside capital, a subsequent investor bought his job as condition for the investment. At that point, Mark became self-employed, offering his enigmatic and enthusiastic services of accounting, marketing, and more for small businesses. Mark also developed a number of personal micro-businesses too. Truly, self-employment has been Mark's life ever since.

When the internet became "the next big thing" in the mid-1990s, Mark immersed himself in web-design and using web-sites for personal business. In 2000, he developed a new brand, HelloMark, as an easy way for clients to quickly find his business services online - a brand name that instantly demonstrates his "marketing-savvy" skills. Hence, the tagline: "To say Hello to Mark, just say... HelloMark.com."

In 2001, the business was expanded to include webservices. Using the newly developed brand, HelloMark.NET was established to help small businesses be able to use the internet for their marketing. From the very start, clients were offered a full-service menu of the full range of online needs, from domain management to web-design to webhosting to so much more. Clients do not just "get a web-site," they get Mark himself. See: Webhost section here.

In 2010, Mark immersed himself in developing public speaking skills as another service to make available. In less than three years, he presented well over 100 speeches and achieved a plethora of awards. Whether for motivation, coaching, or for full-on presentations, Mark added this new skillset to the offerings for small businesses who need it. See: Speaker section here.

With marketing and general business background, whether you need webhosting or online business, or you need public speaking services or coaching, Mark offers a unique, enthusiastic, and enigmatic style to all of his services for small business.

Mark brings an excellence to anything to which he puts his mind.

In the Summer of 2010, Mark began professional development in public speaking. He began participating in Toastmasters. Not only did he develop his skills, but he brought his unique business skills to even bring successful reforms to the organization and many of its clubs.

In just under three years later, on July 1, 2013, Mark fully completed and earned the Distinguished Toastmaster achievement (the "DTM"). Not only do less than 1% (one percent) of all people at Toastmasters ever achieve this level of accomplishment, but of those rare ones who do achieve it, they typically take 8-1/2 to 10-1/2 years to achieve it.

Mark also achieved many, many accomplishments, including the 2012 District 45 Outstanding Toastmaster of the Year (for all of Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine in USA, and all of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia in Canada).

Mark has performed 100s of speeches, spoken in numerous venues, and video-recorded many of his speeches as tools for others to study or use.

In 2012, Mark began his professional public speaking web-site, using a youtube channel for videos of some of his non-commercial presentations.

In 2016, Mark began offering his inspirational keynote/workshop,
