Mark Matthews- Founder 1980

Mark was born in San Diego May of 1958. He grew up in Spring Valley, CA and attended Mt Miguel High School. Mark and his wife Nancy still live in La Mesa and can be seen at many community events around the city. Mark is a huge support and past President of the La Mesa Rotary Club. If you don’t see Mark and Nancy in San Diego that’s because they are probably in Baja finding killer waves, helping support a local orphanage or reeling in fish from the beach. Mark has been a vital part of Christian Brothers over the last 30+ years and has laid down one of the strongest foundations a company could ever ask for!
