| With your ability to empathize with people & understand their
problems, you would be the perfect guide for those who need someone to whom they may turn in times of trouble or sadness. You are compassionate, but realistic. You are kind, but honest. People can confide in you without fear or discomfort. |

| Mark, has helped me in more ways then I can put into words. He has been there counseling me on not only my professional life, but my private life. His life experience, overall intelligence and clear thought process when it comes to my questions and dilemmas has proved to be invaluable. He is quick-witted and humorous when necessary, yet to the point with direction and strong when I need a firm talk. He just doesn't tell you what "you want to hear" like other counselors I've dealt with, he tells you the "way it is, bottom line, the truth, and what I really needed to hear to make my life better".
Even when it comes to dealing with issues of coworkers and real "sociopaths" during animal rescue missions I've led, there was Mark helping me along the way. Right on the nose with analyzing the people involved, assisting me and seeming to always be there for me. I find myself wrapped up in my own life and due to relying on him through the years feel a certain selfishness. Mark has always given me courage and self esteem that I needed being that shoulder to cry on and a support leader in my life. I consider myself a perfectionist and one who can see through fakes and frauds and I want to truly say "Mark you are one person who deserves the utmost respect for being "REAL". Mark, I consider you not only my dearest nonjudgmental and supportive friend, you are my confidant, and lastly, the father I never had. |
| Georgia: |
| Mark is genuine and a genuine friend. He has the innate ability to listen and perceive combined with spiritual wisdom. He is a master at communication on all levels and his comments in areas such as interpersonal relationships, etc. are nearly always spot on. He's the kind of guy you'd want to be marooned on a desert island with. |
| Illinois: |
| Mark is someone who intuitively knows people. He can sense when someone is holding back on him and he works hard at making you feel comfortable enough to tell him everything. He is one of the most completely trustworthy people you'll ever meet and the most non-judgemental person I know. He's helped me in more ways that I even can express and my life is much better from having him in it. |
