Golf has been my passion for decades. I learned how to play the game as a young child and have found it to be a pastime I will enjoy for life. In addition to being a Curated Golf Expert, I currently work in the industry as a Golf Instructor providing lessons to both beginners and intermediate players. I also help out part time at my local club as I enjoy being around the game as much as possible. I enjoy getting to interact with my fellow golfers and talk about the game, the gear, and all the great courses around Michigan and elsewhere!

Mark was courteous, very knowledgeable in products, responsive to questions about products without being a pushy salesman about one certain product! Started out working talking about irons and ended up buying a driver! If you are honest about your game, distances hitting a ball, slices/shanks/bad swings…. Mark can fit you up right! Take Marks advice, go to local shop and try out clubs…. Make a smart purchase!!! Many Birdies in the future!!!

Mark was fantastic!
Recently purchased a set of Mizuno JPX 923 Hot Metal Pros with the help of Mark. He was extremely helpful with offering suggestions and answering any questions I had. Irons, drivers, shaft type, grips.. you name it, he will talk you through it with no pressure at all. Highly recommend!

Chad's experience with Mark
I had a great experience working with Curated. Mark was really helpful and knowledgeable about the products and didn't press me to buy. I took my time making the decision by checking and testing clubs, but he was patient and allowed me to work through things and buy when I was ready to.

Superb Experience
I almost bought on Amazon and found Curated and, by default, Mark - at the very last moment. He took great time to walk me through options, explain selections, and help me choose a great selection for my first complete club set. I'd recommend him to anyone - thanks again Mark!

Thanks to Mark…
I was able to finalize and purchase a set I have been looking at for some time now. Mark was very knowledgeable and gave me other options that fit my needs. By the end, him and I were happy with my choice and he even threw in a bonus! Highly recommend Mark to help you.

Mark was great
I’m a 71 yr old that’s just picked up golf clubs again, mark did a great job on helping me find a driver suited to me. I can’t wait to try it and I will most definitely be getting in touch with him to get some more. Can’t thank him enough
