These years changed the direction of my career.
From 2013 through 2015, I served as Executive Director and
later President of the Clermont County Convention & Visitors Bureau. Those
three years shaped how I understand tourism, community partnerships, and
measurable economic impact. The work my team and I did across Clermont County
helped set the tone for how I lead today in Kentucky.
What follows is a simple archive of the main articles,
videos, and public moments from that time. Many people still search for “Mark
