Mark’s low voltage control systems career started in 1999 when he began installing hazard monitoring equipment throughout the Midwest for agricultural- industrial facilities. In 2002, Mark went to work for an Iowa-based electronic engineering firm specializing in two-way radio communications, emergency alert systems, and remote facility monitoring. In 2004, Mark began designing, installing, and programming residential and commercial AV and automation systems for a systems integration firm in Southeast Iowa.

By 2006, Mark was ready for a new challenge, and became an independent consultant providing product development and custom software for Windows, Linux, and embedded platforms for a prominent consumer electronics company. While doing so, he still found time to provide custom AV systems design and programming services for clients in Iowa, Illinois, and Colorado.

Mark now brings his varied and extensive skill set to the position of Chief Technical Officer of Bitwise Controls, where he looks forward to developing innovative new products for the expanding automation and control systems markets.

Mark lives in West Burlington, Iowa with his wife and daughter.
