Mark began his career in daytime talk producing “The Jenny Jones Show” for period of seven years.  He then moved on to King World’s “The Ananda Lewis Show,” Tribune's syndicated strip “Beyond with James Van Praagh,” and SoapNet’s two-time Emmy-nominated chat show “Soap Talk.”  In April of 2003, Mark landed a producing deal with FOXLAB.

During his stint with FOXLAB, Mark produced two reality pilots and helped launch “Classmates TV.”  After that, Mark jumped from producing to development.  

With his solid production background, Mark served as the Director of Programming for 20th Television, FOX’s first-run syndication division.  In this role, Mark was part of the development team and oversaw current programming on shows such as “Divorce Court,” 20th Television's top-rated court show.  

Mark also was instrumental in the development and launch of "Judge Alex,” which was 2005’s highest-rated new syndicated show.  In 2006, Mark supervised the pilot and startup of 20th Television's third court show, "Cristina’s Court,” which went on to win the first-ever daytime Emmy for a court show.

In addition to his development duties and overseeing all of 20th's court shows, Mark took on a role with FOX's MyNetwork TV.  He served as a current executive on several specials and series.  

In the fall of 2007, 20th asked Mark to take over as the Executive Producer on their longest-airing first-run show, Divorce Court.   Mark currently holds this position while still developing and piloting court and relationship shows for 20th TV.  

Mark created and developed a talk show spin-off of Divorce Court called, "Wedlock or Deadlock," for 20th TV.  Wedlock aired nationally as a 30 episode test on FOX stations in summer 2009.
