He got his start in 4-H and with the help of his father. Mark’s extensive experience in ranching and leatherworking has led to countless recognitions for his fine craftsmanship. An accomplished instructor and presenter, Mark leads classes at his Cow Camp Saddlery shop and educates the public on the importance of handmade leather goods at institutions like the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.
