About Mark

People strategy that moves the business forward

I’m a Human Resources leader based in Conroe, Texas. I’ve driven HR strategy and operations across marketing, real estate, higher education, manufacturing, enterprise software, and HR consulting, aligning people strategy with business goals to support growth, transformation, and operational excellence.
Every growing business faces people problems that quietly cap its growth. I understand what you’re up against, and I know how to fix it.
I’m an analytical strategist at heart. I design and implement scalable HR processes that improve efficiency, compliance, and workforce performance, and I’m comfortable navigating complex organizational structures to build one cohesive plan.
I also coach senior leaders and build high-performing teams with cultures of accountability, inclusion, and engagement. As founder of SmartHR, powered by SRV HR, I bring organizational development, talent management, employee relations, and change leadership to growing companies.
Ready for your business to thrive?

Most businesses don't stall because of their market. They stall because of people.

You already know your people drive your results. You just don’t have the time, or the in-house expertise, to build the systems that get the most from them. That’s where I come in. As your fractional VP of Talent, I install proven talent strategy and HR systems that are repeatable, scalable, and built for your business.
