Mark takes over for Jerry Nadal, who took the position on an interim basis in 2019. “What began as a 3-month assignment to stabilize the organization turned into a truly enjoyable two-and-a-half-year period of unprecedented change and growth,” said Nadal. “Being able to work alongside this amazing team to realize a collective vision for the organization has been an unexpected career highlight for me. I can’t wait to see the heights that Mark and the team take this truly beloved organization.”
Mark began his public broadcasting career at the Dordt University campus radio station. He’s a serious amateur photographer and enjoys cycling the backroads and hills from Acadia to Red Rock.
“The Board and I are confident that Mark is the right person to build on the momentum started by Jerry Nadal and his team,” said Richard Dreitzer, Board Chair, Nevada Public Radio. “Mark brings a wealth of experience and expertise to this role, and we’re lucky to have him as our next CEO.”
