A little more about mark…

Mark began his academic journey at Cal Poly SLO, majoring in Crop Science, before deciding to return to the Imperial Valley to support his father, David, in the hay business. Following his experience working alongside his father, Mark expanded his expertise by collaborating with local farmers as a general laborer, engaging in hay production activities such as cutting, raking, and baling. His dedication and skill led him to a foreman position with local growers, and he later advanced to the role of irrigation foreman in the early 1980s. Over the years, Mark has cultivated a diverse range of crops including lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cotton, and alfalfa. In 1990, he joined Allyn Scheu, where he discovered his enduring passion for citrus cultivation, which continues to thrive today.
