Mark joined the Stephenson brothers shortly after moving to the area from College Station, TX. The original vocalist/ keyboardist Ross Lofton moved on to play in the regionally well known band - DUE SOUTH in 1986 and Mark stepped in a temporary fill-in player... and never left (or has not been fired ...yet!)
Mark started playing multi-keyboards in high school while playing trumpet in the school band and jazz ensemble. Mark played in several central Texas rock bands during his college days and has never out-grown his obsession with music! Mark's musical influences cover a wide spectrum, from the Eagles, ELP, Genesis, Chicago, Blood Sweat and Tears, Tom Petty, and The Who to modern country legends Black Hawk, Restless Heart, Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, and Brooks and Dunn. Mark enjoys doing vocal work as well. Mark doubles as the band's sound technician.
