The Garage at Living Faith provides affordable car repairs to make transportation accessible to all. It started in 2018 with a few guys repairing cars wherever they could and slowly expanded to its current capacity of serving hundreds of customers annually with an all-volunteer staff. The majority of The Garage’s customers are single parents and fixed-income seniors, and the volunteers span all age-ranges and skillsets. While started under the vision of Living Faith Church in Fombell, PA, the Garage at Living Faith now operates as a separate 501c3 non-profit charity.
He serves as the volunteer Executive Director of The Garage. By day, he is in senior leadership of an international software company, and also still volunteers in other capacities at Living Faith Church. Mark lives out the axiom that life is most meaningful and enjoyable when we give ourselves fully to things that matter.
