As the owner of the Express Employment office in Southwest Austin, Mark and his team solve problems for their clients by finding qualified individuals for open positions in a wide range of fields. Mark enjoys filling both technical and professional positions. A Ph.D. scholar with over 15 years of experience in the technical realm of science and engineering, he loves that he can talk about work now without people nodding off to sleep.  In college, Mark ran his own painting business which grew his excitement for helping others find jobs.  "I had nine people working for me and many of them were friends of mine.  Providing work for them through my business was one of the best parts of that experience. The ability to do that every day on a much larger scale through Express, while providing great value and service for our clients, is tremendously satisfying".
