He had a passion for the outdoors and had a keen sense of adventure that he particularly enjoyed sharing with his two daughters, Libby and Jess.

I worked with Mark briefly at Rivian. I didn't really fit in with the Rivian culture, but the one person who had a lasting impact on me was Mark. I actually discovered Mark had passed because I would periodically check his LinkedIn profile to see where he had landed after Rivian. The thought in my mind was always, "I should try and work with Mark again -- that'd probably be awesome." I was really saddened to see the post on his passing. Mark had a great smile and was a great leader -- I wish I could have worked with him again. I'm sure his family, who I have never met, is deeply grieving. If it is any relief at all, I hope they know Mark touched a lot of people and will be remembered long into the future. I only worked with him for six months, and I know I'll remember him and continue to try and emulate some of his best qualities throughout the rest of my career and life. I can only imagine the impact he had on others he spent more time with.
