“Any deal Mark does is a win-win scenario.”

“I’ve known Mark for over 25 years, from his early career development as play by play broadcaster and corporate sales magician for the Calgary Hitmen at their start up days to his growth in the Calgary Flames organization up to Senior Director Sponsorship where he led the Flames sponsorship sales and fulfilment teams for all properties under the Calgary Sports and Entertainment Group umbrella. Mark is more than a great sales guy and partnership guru. He is an all-around great guy who works to deliver results for every partner he has signed. Any deal Mark does is a win-win scenario. You’re in great hands with Mark and M3 Sports. He’ll deliver results.”
