    Mark grew up in north central Iowa and graduated from the University of Northern Iowa, receiving his B.A. in social and behavioral sciences. For many years, Mark worked in the biotech industry, but was always an entrepreneur at heart. He began investing in real estate in 1997 and quickly evolved into a real estate developer. Adding to his entrepreneurial portfolio, he also co-owns a beer company called Buck Creek Brewing, in which he developed his own signature beer, ‘Patti’s Ale.’ Beyond all of this, his heart has always truly been in agriculture.

    The development of Buck Creek Hops was a natural choice. With his experience as a row-crop farmer, he knew the rich soil of Iowa would surely grow high quality hops plants. Mark and his wife, Lynette, have two children. Their close-knit family enjoys doing anything they can do together from working at the farm to family vacations, and the kids’ school activities.
    It’s no wonder anyone working with Buck Creek Hops feels like family!
