I’m honoured to call Mark a friend; and even though he now works on the other side of the world, I continue to enjoy hearing his words of wisdom. He was the person that helped me through the early days of building Pulse Cinemas and I’ll never forget his words of support and motivation during the early years in business. He would be an invaluable asset to any company; if of course he’s not busy changing the world and giving his energy to people that are lucky enough to cross his path.
(Coos Design) Mark handled a very time sensitive website update for our company website. He executed fast, precisely and well. Can highly recommend.
Mark's enthusiasm, personality and ability to project multi-task make him a natural entrepreneur. It's quite rare to see. I watched Mark be successful in numerous companies of his own or others and help the community at every turn.
Mark is a proactive self-starter with an incredible work ethic. Aside from completing multiple core projects ahead of schedule, Mark will always take the time to give cross-functional support to any team member who could use his assistance.
He was a very good leader in our team, his team work spirit and professional working attitude make him a star in our team.
Mark plays a vital role in the marketing and sales department at Changhong, his efforts has immensely helped expand the visibility of his company in its market segment.
Mark is very professional in Marketing; He is good at Website Development, Photoshop, Writing; He gives us guide and helps us a lot in the work. It is my honor to work with him.
Mark has been an invaluable resource for our company. His technical understanding, business knowledge, and communication skills have been essential in helping to make working with CHT a such a pleasure!
Mark is an enthusiastic and dedicated employee that is willing and able to wear many hats and roll up his sleeves when the going gets tough and things get dirty. An overall great asset to the team, Marketing, Media or IT - which goes a long ways working in China where you need a bit of everything to make anything work.
Mark is an exceptional person and a great expert in what he does. I will always recommend him highly for both, excellent work as well as outstanding human values.
