Personal Info: Mark is a successful powerlifter and is the strength coach at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas. He placed second at the 1997 World Muscle Power Championship and is currently the United States' strongest man. Mark was doing well at the 1998 WSM, but met with an unfortunate accident when the car he was turning in the Car Rolling event fell back on him. He's the United States best hope for another great strongman champion, so hopefully we'll see him back in shape for WSM 1999.
