Ceo And Founder
CurrentMark is the founder of TBG Solutions Inc., a risk management and training solutions company that develops strategies, training and awareness programs to keep staff, student and employees safe. Mark’s identity was stolen as a child, requiring a great deal of time and energy to restore. From this experience Mark recognized the rising rate of identity theft resulting from a lack of data security within companies and organizations and the devastating consequences individuals and organizations face. These factors influenced Mark to build what is now a cutting-edge security and risk management training company. After the tragic massacre at Sandy Hook elementary school in 2012, Mark was encouraged by several school and college officials to add a new training module to TBG’s suite of services. Using the US Department of Homeland Security and U. S. Department of Education's recommended principles, Mark built a training program that will save lives, change thinking and change behavior, ultimately managing risk for individuals and organizations. Today the “How to Respond to an Active Shooter Situation” training is one of the most requested of our programs by schools, colleges and businesses alike. Mark also specializes in educating and training in social media safety and awareness, cyberbullying/sexting education for students, customer service, team building and employee development. Mark can often be found speaking at national events and conferences across the United States. Mark has firmly established himself as one of the foremost school safety and active shooter / intruder specialist in the nation. Mark’s candor, captivating stories and great sense of humor combine for a highly effective presentation. He has a way of empowering audiences to be street smart, probing, and to reduce risk in data-saturated areas of their lives. Mark is also part of the staff development team at Tyler Junior College in Tyler, Texas.
