Thanks to encouragement from a friend, Mark and late wife, Wendy, took a trip in the late 80s to CCNC. They fell in love with the area, purchased land in 2000 and become full time residents in 2016. Mark is a member of the Board of Directors at CCNC but sought out First Tee as an opportunity to expand his love of golf among the young people in our community. To further his support and commitment, Mark was unanimously voted Board President in for the 2022 – 2023 term. He has made an impact that will be remember for years to come!
” I have always thought First Tee was a great organization. The seamless way it ties together golf skills and education for the youth was extremely important to me. I joined the Board of Directors in hopes that my connections in the golf and business industries would be of service to the mission and successful future of the organization. I look forward to seeing where First Tee – Sandhills will go in the years to come!”
