Mark’s first career was in the retail grocery business. At 10 years of age he began accompanying his father and grandfather to work on a daily basis. Their first business was Wrigley’s supermarket in San Diego. His experience with small businesses and customers can be traced back to his youth. He has had a constant affinity for not simply profit margins, but relationships with customers. Part of his success in the early stages of his work life was due in part to his personable relationship with shoppers. Ultimately, the Arabo family owned and managed a chain of 3 supermarkets throughout San Diego.

As a life long San Diegan, Mark attended Valhalla High School before graduating from San Diego State University where he earned his Bachelors of Science Business Degree in Integrated Marketing Communications. During his time in San Diego State University he was named to the National Deans List for three consecutive years, 2001-2002, 2002-2003, and 2003-2004 and also earned a Certified E-Marketing Associate.
