Mark is a 26-year-old personal trainer from Grand Island, NY. Despite his tough-guy persona, he considers himself a teddy bear.
Mark is currently on the chopping block with his on-again, off-again showmance partner Elena Davies as well as Jessica Graf, who is only a nominee because she had finished the "Temptation Competition" in last place. Although Mark probably believes he's a bigger target than Elena, the latest Head of Household, Josh Martinez, is going after her.
Meanwhile, the rest of the house is gunning for Jessica. Mark and Elena found themselves on the outs to begin with because the pair got too close with Jessica and Cody Nickson once Cody re-entered the game. The Power of Veto competition is just ahead, so it will be interesting to see what happens.
