In addition to his pro-life work, Mark is the founder and president of The King's Men, a non-profit men's ministry  which promotes authentic masculinity, fatherhood and beloved sonship. This mission has enabled Mark to travel all around the globe as a sought after retreat leader and conference speaker.  

As a result of his pro-lfe work, Mark was the recipient of the Cardinal John O'Connor Defender of Life Award (Legatus 2022).  He and his family were also named the Catholic Hero of the Year by Catholic Vote in 2022.
