I met Mark a few years ago while filming my friends Ragnar Relay team (These are relay races done over a 24 hour period usually covering over 200 miles).  He was the senior member of the 6-man ultra team (most teams have 12 members).

One of Mark's experiences is particularly interesting to me.  When his kids were younger, he and his wife took them sailing for 17 months straight.  Before their voyage began He did not know how to sail, he didn't own a sailboat & no, he was not (is not) independently wealthy.

His motto is "Live fearlessly into the dreams uniquely written upon your heart”.  Years prior (before he had any kids) he make a 'bucket list' of things he wanted to do in life.  On this list was to sail with his family for a year.  Despite some major hurdles, they found a way to make it happen.
