About

Freelance ECD / CD / CW

Starting as a junior at Arnold in Boston and currently a freelance ECD/CD/CW in Boulder, CO, Mark’s work over 25+ years—on brands like ESPN, DraftKings, Microsoft, INFINITI, the Big Ten Network, and more—has been honored by Cannes, CLIOs, One Show, Kelly Awards, Effies, Communication Arts, ADDYs & more.

As rabid a sports fan as branding nerd, he’s also written two best-selling sports memoirs published by Simon & Schuster—COMMITTED: CONFESSIONS OF A FANTASY FOOTBALL JUNKIE and JUST KICK IT: TALES OF AN UNDERDOG, OVER-AGE, OUT-OF-PLACE SEMI-PRO FOOTBALL PLAYER—and has frequently contributed to the New York Times Sunday Sports, New York Times.com “Fifth Down” NFL blog, NBC Sports, and others. And he’s appeared on national TV/radio shows like NPR’s “Only a Game with Bill Littlefield,” ESPN Classic, ESPN Radio, Sirius XM Sports, FOX Sports, and more.

A Bostonian for most of his life and career—and still a diehard Pats, C’s, B’s, and Sawwwwwx fan—Mark and his family have lived in Boulder since 2009.
