His own path to seminary leadership was not a straight line. Before theological education, he spent 13 years in senior roles with the British Columbia provincial government, and 10 years as a local church pastor, learning how organizations and ministries actually work and how leaders either grow or stall. Mark holds a PhD in Biblical Hebrew, and his research focused on the life and leadership evaluations of specific biblical characters. His master's research explored the theme of \"face to face\" encounters with God throughout the Old Testament. He is the founder of Leading Well, an executive coaching practice, and the author of The Four Languages of a Leader. Whether he is teaching a seminary class, coaching an executive, or writing, his question is the same: what does it look like to lead in a way that is faithful, humble, missional, and genuinely good for people? Mark is also an ultra-marathon runner and Spartan Race finisher, so he has a few hard-earned opinions about endurance and finishing the race. He and his wife Jennifer live in Abbotsford, British Columbia.
