Mark is an Independent Consultant who has three decades of consulting experience, primarily in the areas of US Federal and Military facilities environmental cleanup and US Military Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC). He was the first to effectively define the BRAC implementation process and is nicknamed “BRACman” by the US military. He has worked for a number of for- and not-for-profit firms, most notably MITRE, LMI and BearingPoint, where he was a managing director and had a team of 35 staff in multiple, diverse locations. He enjoys and is skilled at environmental and BRAC process development, process integration, process training, meeting facilitation and litigation support. In the 1990s, he authored or co-authored guidance on both topics that is still used today.
Mark was a driving force behind a San Antonio Community-Miliary partnership that created Brooks City-Base, a viable alternative to BRAC. In the 1980s he worked in the oil industry as an exploration geologist, researcher and stratigrapher. He is a geologist and paleontologist by degree and has a fossil named after him.
In 2020, he was a US Census Bureau Field Supervisor. He has been a federally-designated Expert Witness twice. One case involved oil and gas leasing rights and the other involved the BRAC process.
