Mark worked at KFI, 1969; KEZY, 1969-83; KHJ, 1983-86; KRLA, 1986; KFI/KOST/KACE, 1986-2000. He was the voice of the monorail at Disneyland for half a decade. His key to success? "Be versatile! After all, at KEZY I survived five program directors and I was one of them." On September 1, 1996, Mark celebrated 35 years in broadcasting, making it one of the longest current running careers in Southern California radio. During his decade-plus with KFI/KOST, he broadcast more than 70,000 traffic reports.
A 40-year veteran of Southern California radio died April 28, 2000. Mark had heart surgery on January 18 and had returned to work at KFI Radio in mid-March. On April 27, Mark went to the hospital complaining of a "burning sensation." Doctors could not find anything wrong and his arteries were fine. Doctors sent him home thinking he may have had a touch of pneumonia. It is believed that he died in his sleep and when paramedics arrived at his Anaheim Hills home the following morning and transported him to a local hospital, it is believed that he had already passed away.
