Mark is a seasoned executive with over two decades of experience developing and leading strong teams. A visionary, change leader, creative problem solver, and early adopter of technological solutions. He is an expert in building effective settlement and claims management programs for mass torts, class actions, and insurance runoffs.

Mark began his career with a large consulting firm, assisting clients involved in asbestos, breast implant, and other large-scale product liability cases. Before founding Verus in 2003, he served as operations manager of the largest asbestos claims facility in the country, and went on from there to launch a firm that specialized in third-party administration of securities fraud class actions. Throughout his career, Mark has had the pleasure of providing research, discovery, analytics, and settlement administration support to many of the best litigators in the country working to resolve issues with wide-ranging societal effects. Taking a lesson from the strong mentors he has encountered over the years, he and his partners built Verus by hiring intelligent, creative people with a shared commitment to doing impactful work.

When he is not at work, you can usually find him reading in his favorite chair, tending his garden, puttering around his workshop, walking the woods looking for birds and wildflowers, or fishing the streams near his home.
