After the Impresario project concluded, Mark, as was customary for that time period, spent a year at a dot com venture that failed and after that worked as a consultant in the field of corporate governance. In 2002, Mark was happily pulled back into the world of arts organizations by the Network, where, as the son of ballet dancers, he feels particularly at home. In what spare time is left over after work and spending time with his wife and daughter, Mark enjoys playing wind synthesizer, composing music, and gaming.

Paul joined JCA after years of experience at Goodman Theatre in Chicago, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, and the Levine School of Music in Washington, D.C.
