Helping clients bring their dream fireplace to life—and then taking it one step further—is what Mark looks forward to every day at Acucraft. He loves the challenge of matching the perfect fireplace to each unique project, and he’s all in from the first design sketch to final installation and a happy customer.

A true mechanical mind, Mark spends his off-hours in his home shop rebuilding just about anything,or kayak fishing and traveling around in his RV with his wife. Add in a bit of mountain biking, and you’ve got his perfect weekend. His favorite movie? Gran Torino—partly for the Clint Eastwood grit, but mostly because that Gran Torino was his very first car (and yes, he definitely wishes he still had it).
