“One For The Road: How To Be A Music Tour Manager” includes a foreword by Alex Skolnick, virtuoso lead guitarist of TESTAMENT and author of his upcoming autobiography, “Geek To Guitar Hero”, and cover design by Eliran Kantor (TESTAMENT, ATHEIST, SIGH, ANACRUSIS, GWAR).

His list of past and present clients includes TESTAMENT, ANTHRAX, MEGADETH, SLAYER, MACHINE HEAD, DEVILDRIVER, MUDVAYNE, DIO, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, SOULFLY, SEPULTURA, KEEL and STEELER.

As a lighting designer Mark has designed high-impact lighting performances for many music tours, including the infamous “Clash Of The Titans” (SLAYER, MEGADETH, ANTHRAX, TESTAMENT, ALICE IN CHAINS and SUICIDAL TENDENCIES) in 1990-1991 and “American Carnage” in 2010 (SLAYER, MEGADETH, ANTHRAX and TESTAMENT), as well as for many music videos and live DVD’s such as MACHINE HEAD‘s “Elegies” DVD, filmed at Brixton Academy in London, England.
