Mark and his wife Joanie moved to Wyoming from Ohio in 2012, drawn by the natural beauty and tranquility of the area. A visit to stunning Alcova Lake was the key factor in their decision to make Wyoming their new home.

In 2013, they joined the Casper Boat Club, and it quickly became an important part of their lives. Mark has spent much of his life boating—primarily on Lake Erie, along the East Coast, and in Florida—so continuing that lifestyle in Wyoming was a natural fit.

The couple has three adult sons and one grandson who live in Colorado and Delaware. Their family often visits to enjoy all the recreational opportunities and breathtaking views that the Alcova area has to offer.

In 2018, Mark and Joanie built their dream home overlooking the lake, and they never take for granted the beauty that surrounds them.

Mark is proud to serve on the Casper Boat Club board and deeply values the sense of community and the many opportunities the club provides. He’s always happy to contribute and help wherever he can.

Jennifer has dedicated the past 20 years to the nonprofit sector and currently serves as the Executive Director of the Self Help Center, a position she’s held since 2015. Actively involved in community service, she serves on multiple local boards and is deeply passionate about building a community that is safe, healthy, and welcoming for all.
