A renaissance man who is a multi-instrumentalist, Mark feels at home on-stage with Armada bringing some of the best original rock and roll coming out of an area that is mostly known for their tribute and cover bands. I had the pleasure and privilege of sitting down with Mark and discussing many things, including what got him interested in guitar, his son Mark Jr. who is the guitarist for New York Grindcore band Blame God, his faith, his opinions on music for creativity over commerce, and what keeps him motivated. This was one of my most fun conversations, and I thank Mark for his time.
