We both moved to Northville, Michigan in 1986. Now retired, Mark was a successful restaurant owner and operator. He owned five Arby's restaurants in metro Detroit. He also offered authentic barbecue at the Kensington Grill in Lyon Township.

We share a love of food and music, and frequently go on food crawls together. Mark also likes to play golf and racquetball, go fishing, work on his collection of old cars, cook, travel spontaneously, and spend time with friends in South Haven, Michigan.

Marc and I have been connected for many years through the SIKM Leaders Community and the SIKM Boston local chapter. We met up at KMWorld 2025 in Washington, DC in November and had some interesting conversations. We share an interest in baseball history.

Marc describes himself as a consummate designer of human/AI alignments to deliver standards-based ESG reporting solutions. For Generative AI Modeling, he focuses on the importance of selectivity in determining business outcomes, the collaboration model between AI and human inputs, and the need for accuracy in spotting and correcting default programming biases.
