Mark is the driving force
behind Latigo Lace. Not only
does he keep the beat, but
Mark is the businessman
responsible for much of
Latigo Lace's success.
A Seattle native, born July 1st,
Mark attended both Hazen
High and Rainier Beach High
Schools, where his activities
included band, swimming,
woodshop and photography.
The owner & operator of
C&C Construction, Mark and
his crew have a history of
fine craftsmanship and a level
of pride in their work that
sets the standard for new
construction, restoration and
remodeling of fine homes in
addition to custom landscapes.
He was also the founder
and president of the
"Save
Our
Seahawks"
campaign that made it possible
for the Seattle Seahawks
to stay in Seattle and to move
into their new stadium in 2002.
Among his musical influences
are John Mellencamp, Vince
Gill, Clint Black, The Beatles,
and Tower of Power. You could
call him versatile. His main goal,
as drummer & band leader of
Latigo Lace, is to be successful |

in any endeavor. The success of
Latigo Lace, now over nine
years in the making, is a
testament to his skill as a
drummer as well as that of a
businessman.
Mark hopes that Latigo Lace
not only remains a driving
force in the Northwest's music
scene for years to come, but
also that someday Latigo Lace
has the opportunity to grab the
Big Time brass ring!
Mark still lives in Seattle and is
also chairman of The Jennifer L. Collins Memorial Foundation
(honoring his late wife) which rasies money for cancer
patent assistance programs. Check out:

before going on to Medical School. His hobbies include fishing, watching sports,
music and working on his ongoing backyard landscaping
projects. |
