In November 2003, Mark obtained his Texas real estate license and began working in the Copperas Cove office of Coldwell Banker United, REALTORS®.  He became Vice President of Sales in Killeen in 2008.

Mark also had a passion for teaching real-estate at Central Texas College.Mark led a high real estate performance team in the Ft Hood area.  His office was a top office in the entire Coldwell Banker system for over a decade. His focus on “consider it done” management rather than “I will take care of it” led all in the real estate industry to have tremendous respect for him.

No one ever had to ask Mark to go above and beyond, he did so every single day. His sense of humor was never ending and his passion to live life to the fullest was apparent every day of his life.

Mark was preceded in death by his mother, Sandra Campbell.
