Biography and Sample Introduction
Updated: September 2007

Under Mark's direction, Life Dynamics has done trailblazing research on the abortion industry and developed an extensive litigation support system to help women sue the abortionists who kill, injure, or sexually assault them. Since 1992, Life Dynamics has also carried out an aggressive direct mail campaign designed to discourage medical professionals from entering the abortion business.

Mark is probably best known for his bold undercover operations that have exposed shocking and even illegal activities inside the abortion industry. It was a Life Dynamics sting that caught Planned Parenthood and others in the abortion industry protecting the men who rape children, and another one that documented how abortion clinics make extra profit by selling the body parts of the babies they kill. The success of Mark's intelligence and surveillance efforts led one New York newspaper to label Life Dynamics "the CIA of the pro-life movement."

In 1996, Mark authored the book, Lime 5, a groundbreaking exposé that has become the recognized standard for people who want to know what really goes on inside the American abortion industry. Among his numerous other writings is the pro-life handbook, On Message, as well as Access, the Key to Pro-Life Victory.

Articles about Mark and Life Dynamics have been published in both Time and Newsweek and he has written for The Christian American, All About Issues, and Focus on the Family's Citizen magazine. He has also appeared on many local and national television news outlets including ABC World News Tonight, NBC Nightly News, the CBS Evening News, Fox News, Nightline, 20/20, the O'Rilley Factor, and the 700 Club. He is also a regular contributor to World-Net Daily, Family News in Focus and the USA Radio Network.

In 1999, Mark launched the nation's only pro-life television talk show, LifeTalk. Today, his co-hosts include Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life; Troy Newman, the national leader of Operation Rescue; Dr. Johnny Hunter, the president of America's largest black pro-life organization; and Janet Morana, co-founder of Silent No More.

In 2002, Mark received the first annual Cardinal Von Galen Award from Human Life International and, in 2004, he was given the Cardinal O'Connor Pro-Life Hall of Fame Award. Today, among Life Dynamics' newest projects is a revolutionary new approach toward increasing participation by the African-American community in the pro-life cause.

Mark lives in Denton, Texas with his wife of over 36 years, Tulane, and their adopted daughter, Sheila.
