Profile Mark moved to NYC in April 2000.
His debut in the NYC sports scene was to be delayed a few months after
travelling back to VA in May to finish the final weekend of games with his
flag football team resulted in a shattered left wrist and most of the summer
in a cast, then in PT. Ready to go in
September of 2000 he decided to first make his mark on the soccer pitch. He posted on NYSOL his availability, at any
position, and was called upon by then CPR skipper Nick Stroffolini
for the role of MetroBoyz GK. Mark spent 5 seasons handily holding down
the GK position, winning one league championship, and becoming known around
the league for his above average play and consistency. In Spring of 2003 Mark handed the GK reigns
over to “The Vulture” and moved out into his more natural position playing
outside midfielder or more commonly defense.
Several years of solid play on the field ended in December 2005 when
Mark suffered a knee injury. Not
knowing the extent of the injury, and trying to self-heal, it wasn’t until
several months later that an MRI was conducted and uncovered a torn ACL and
torn meniscus. Mark underwent surgery
in late April 2006 and spent the next year recovering and playing the part of
part time coach, and as a sideline supporter.
Mark returned to play in March 2007 for the Spring 2007 season, and over
the next year wore a brace while playing and fully recovering, In 2008 Mark helped form the CPR OldBoys and was a stalwart on the field and in the pub
for 5 seasons on the OldBoys. In Fall 2012, Marked helped form the CPR
Legends and is looking forward to many more successful seasons with CPR. Off the field, Mark has one the most consistent attendance records
for post-game pub outings of any player in all of CPRFC. Never letting a short subway trip across
town keep him from an opportunity to throw back a couple pints and hang out
with his team and the rest of the club.
Mark has also been a frequent participant in other off the field CPR
activities such as banquets, golf tourneys, soccer tourneys, various trips,
kickball, dodgeball, softball, and regular
impromptu NYC outings. |
