Who We Are...
Mark is married to Sandy and they have two sons, Jordan and Christian. Their family moved to
Nashville in 2002 after divesting a family business in West Virginia . They have found Nashville
to be a “big, small town”, a great place to live, grow as a family and work. He finished his formal
education at WVU in Morgantown, WV after going to the school of hard knocks in diverse environments including south Florida . Mark is still in that school and knows there are always more
lessons to learn so it’s important to remain teachable. Mark has been around small business all
of his life and places a high value on customer service, quality products, and great value. His
experience in a highly service oriented industry in a small town has equipped Mark for the many
tasks involved with managing a start up such as FLIP.
“We have a revolutionary concept here which gives us the opportunity to serve a wide variety of clientele in a boutique atmosphere and develop great relationships in the process.”
Although not coming from a fashion background, Mark has discovered an ability to coordinate fabric, texture, pattern and color. He is now considered “the go to guy” for many of FLIP’s guests when choosing outfits for special events both for personal and business environments.
Mark would like to invite you to stop by 909 8th Ave South and see why everyone is saying, “It’s hip to FLIP!”
