Mark,


I will never forget our first phone call with you, which was my first interview that inevitably led me to LP. Since day 1, you have been an amazing partner on the people team. I do not think I would be at Luxury Presence or would have grown as I have without your support along the way. Thank you for always leading with transparency, giving honest advice and feedback as well as assuming positive intent as we grew and learned together.


Seven years is NO JOKE. Growing the team from under 10 to over 300, none of us would be here without the people team and you at the helm. What an accolade! Look forward to all that we accomplish in 2025 and beyond. THANK YOU for your contributions thus far.

I debated on if you would be happy if I wrote a heartfelt note without AI, or if you would be disappointed I didn't use AI superpowers to make your note awesome. So I did both.


AI-generated haiku:

A tall frame, warm heart,

Seven years of steady care,

Roots that hold us firm.


From me without AI:

Ever since my first interview with you, I've been impressed at how grounded and steady you are as a leader. Your team and the company at large are really lucky to have benefited from all the stability you've provided over the last seven years. It's been awesome to get to partner with you over the most recent years. Thanks for everything. Congrats on the milestone!

You are a solid leader and care personally- You don’t find that everywhere.  I’m grateful to be on your team and appreciate all of your guidance and support. Please enjoy a poem I collaborated with ChatGPT on! 😊 Cheers to 7 years!


Seven Years Strong

Seven years as VP of People, a feat to behold,
Through startup chaos, you’ve been pure gold.
From the early days with goals undefined,
To scaling a team both sharp and aligned.


You’ve mastered the art of juggling it all,
From culture-building wins to every curveball.
Referrals galore, and interviews to boot,
You handle it all with strategy to suit.


Supportive and caring, you lead with heart,
Balancing the big picture—a true work of art.
And though “fire-putter-outer” could be your name,
You make it all look like a graceful game.


Here’s to seven years of making a mark,
Building a workplace that truly sparks.
Cheers to the past and what’s yet to be,
You’ve set the bar high for all to see!

Congratulations on 7 amazing years with Luxury Presence! You’ve been such an integral part of the company and a pivotal figure in my career over the last 5 years. I’ll never forget our first meeting in the Santa Monica office, where you said you’d send me on my way after an hour if I didn’t impress. Then, moments later, you actually did that to another candidate in the conference room next door. That’s when I knew I found the perfect match!All jokes aside, thank you for everything you’ve done. It’s been a privilege to work with you and get to know you over the years. Looking forward to the ones ahead!Cheers!

Congrats on 7 years, Mark. It’s hard to overstate how much you’ve shaped this company directly by being a great leader and indirectly by hiring so many of the people who make LP special. This year’s offsite was an incredible demonstration of the culture you helped built.


I’ll never forget when you called me to come to Austin with you after Nick passed away. Without hesitation, you knew it was the right thing to do. I’ve seen you do that countless times in big and small ways and it's inspiring.

2024 was a really special year and I’m so glad you were there for our wedding. Thanks for always showing up when it matters.


I’m proud of the work we continue to do together and truly grateful for our partnership and friendship.


Thanks for all you do!
