Founder & CEO, Bright Star Studios
Mark is a Award Winning Venture Founder, Creator of Technology & Games, Serial Entrepreneur, Keynote Speaker and Advisor, who began making games in his childhood on a Texas Instruments 99/4A and Commodore 64. He's also been involved in eSports at its infancy and pioneering beginnings, as both an
undefeated world champion and co-creator of multiple successful organizations, such as Nihilum and Ensidia, where he spearheaded the organizational success of the two household MMORPG Esport names of the era - officially crowned "The Best Guild Worldwide" by Blizzard - taking his competitive and management experience from his Entrepreneurship and time as a Pro-Player and applying it to World of Warcraft; the two teams collectively garnered millions of users with their household websites.
Mark has since built and helped build several start-ups within the Technology, Game, and Esport industry from the ground up, raising millions of dollars and sharing his experience with especially the younger entrepreneur crowd along the way. Prior to Bright Star, Mark co-founded PlayOn, the Danish studio behind Tank Wars, marking the third proprietary and custom engine he has worked on creating.
