When we say we work with smart people and good people, we’re talking about Mark. One glance at his resume makes you wonder when he sleeps, yet casts no doubt on why he’s considered a “Man in the Arena”.

Mark comes to Catalyit with over 40 years of insurance experience, having started his career as a producer before proceeding to work at each position in the agency. It’s what made him a successful owner. It’s also how he developed expertise in automation and workflow strategies, which led him to create the first remote server cloud-based hosting environment for insurance agencies. In short, he’s the king of insurance cloud computing.

Before founding Ajasent, Mark spent 10 years consulting with agencies at the national level on automation selection and utilization, along with internal operations. It’s no wonder Catalyit sought hard (and is proud to have won) his acceptance as our technology consultant. You’ll be thankful, too, the minute you receive your agency’s tech assessment report.

Mark’s legacy will, however, be defined by a much greater calling. That picture you see next to the definition of Renaissance Man? Yep, that’s Mark. He’s a pianist, master chef, restaurant owner, avid hiker with a liking for high-altitudes, fisherman, part-time sheriff, philanthropist, non-profit board member, cancer survivor, and conducts search and rescue with his favorite bloodhounds for law enforcement. He’s also one of the kindest and most humble people we know.

There are many things to like about Mark, but his commitment to making the world a better place and dedication to improving the lives of children in need are unmatched. Those who have the opportunity to cross his path consider themselves lucky to work alongside a man of his wit and character. Now, if only he’ll host the next insurance meetup at Clawdaddy’s Crawfish & Oyster Bar so we can sample that mouth-watering Louisiana cuisine he’s always cooking up.
