Before joining Legal Heat as a concealed/carry firearms instructor, Mark served for six years in the United States Marine Corps and worked a few years as a bail enforcement officer in Washington State. He later spent several years as a private bodyguard and, among others, protected Ron Paul between Presidential runs when the Congressman did not qualify for Secret Service protection. Mark has been a firearms instructor for many years and has been teaching Utah CPL concealed/carry firearms classes since 2012. He has been using and recommending the Legal Heat 50 State Guide to Firearms Laws app for years and is glad to be a part of the Legal Heat instructional team.
