Men of Standing
For Men Rebuilding After Divorce

Every Sunday, I write about the decisions, doubts, and uncomfortable realities men face while rebuilding after divorce.

Some lessons came from my own ten-year divorce and custody battle. Others came from 35 years building businesses, developing leaders, and watching capable men navigate difficult transitions.

It's personal, practical, and occasionally uncomfortable.

I write what I wish someone had told me when I was going through it.

What Men Who've Been Here Say

"Working with Mark was a transformative experience. Prior to engaging with Mark, I felt a sense of uncertainty about my life's direction and success. . Mark's intuitive approach challenged me to reevaluate my mindset, and he asked those profound, uncomfortable questions that sparked crucial introspection. Today, I feel confident and invigorated, eager to continue iteration on my redefined path to happiness and success. I wholeheartedly recommend Mark's coaching and mentorship”

““Mark is one of the first calls I make when I am working through a big life decision. From career changes to moves to long-term goals, Mark always helps me to sort through the variables and confusion, and focus in on what I should prioritize in the decision. There are very few big decisions I make without getting his perspective first. He is a calming voice of reason. I truly feel like Mark sees me as a whole person, not just a resume. It’s clear in the advice he gives and the compassion he provides. I couldn't recommend him more highly, and I have connected him with multiple friends who have had similar results.”

My Name's Mark

I lost everything in a contentious divorce. Represented myself. Won sole custody of my three kids.

Raised them alone for a decade. Built back from zero.
I'm not a therapist. I'm not a life coach with a weekend certification.
I'm the guy who fought that two-front war.
The legal battle and the identity collapse.
I came out the other side with my kids and my name intact.
I built this newsletter because nobody built it for me when I needed it.

Still standing.
