Mark was born and raised in Flint, Michigan, and graduated with a degree in Political Science.
He became passionate about social justice at age 10 when first noticing poverty in his community. Through his 10 year old eyes he saw that folks didn't have food, shelter, and basic living necessities.
This also led to his current work in public health with the mission and focus to end HIV by 2030.
Mark loves organizing, visiting civil rights historic sites, and reading historic books.
— Mark Fields, Vice President
