Mark is a resident of Michigan, having been born and raised in the Detroit area. He spent a good portion of his life in North Carolina. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Management from Lawrence Institute of Technology; his M.B.A. from the University of North Carolina; and his Juris Doctorate from the University of Detroit-Mercy School of Law.
 
He has extensive business experience in the automotive industry. With the changes in the manufacturing climate not only in Michigan, but the U.S., he decided to enter law school.
 
In January 2005, Mark partnered with a University of Detroit-Mercy classmate to form Johnson and Wilk, PLLC.
