Our Team

CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™

Mark is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professional with 34 years of experience. He graduated from West Chester University holding a business degree with a finance concentration. He is a second-generation advisor following in the footsteps of his father. They worked as a team in suburban Philadelphia before Mark moved on to gain additional experience on Wall Street. Mark worked for a trading firm in NYC, broadening his knowledge of investment strategies and the world financial markets.

In June 1997, Mark and his wife Kathy moved to Ocean City to put down roots and raise their family. Mark established Ocean City Financial Group that summer. Mark and Kathy have a son, Todd, a finance major at Florida Gulf Coast University and a daughter, Summer, who is a soccer player at Monmouth University studying graphic design.

Mark enjoys volunteering with the local Little League, the Chamber of Commerce, the Ocean City Lifesaving Station, playing racquetball and pickleball, bike riding and an occasional round of golf. Most importantly, he likes spending summer weekends on the beach with family. One additional hobby for Mark is his 1968 Mustang convertible, which was his high school car.
