Mark Parrish
Business owner of 18 franchised restaurants generating over $75 million in annual revenue. I specialize in building systems that drive leadership development, accountability, and long-term success.
Married for over 20 years with five children, I hold an MBA from Western Governors University.
I am a combat veteran of the U.S. Army, having served over a year in Iraq in 2005. I also lived in Brazil for two years as a Christian missionary.
In addition, I’m a private commercial multi-engine pilot and owner of a turboprop aircraft.
I believe the same principles that drive business success — structure, intentionality, and discipline — are just as critical at home. I am committed to leading my family with the same purpose and vision that I lead my business.
