About Mark

Mark T Wilson was born in Italy to a Texan father and an Italian mother from the beautiful island of Capri. Growing up in Italy, he was surrounded by a rich blend of cultures and values that shaped both his character and his outlook on life. After completing his college education there, Mark built the foundation for both his professional career and personal life.

It was in Italy that Mark met his late wife, with whom he later moved to the United States to begin a new chapter together. They were blessed with two children: a son, who tragically passed away at just 17 due to illness, and a daughter, Olivia, who today is 23 years old and lives in Texas. Mark’s journey through life has been touched by both love and loss, including the passing of his parents and his sister, who died from breast cancer six years ago. Despite these hardships, Mark has remained resilient and continues to live with strength, gratitude, and faith.

Today, Mark lives in Texas, where he continues his career as a highly experienced mechanical engineer with over 30 years of dedication to his field. Much of his career has been spent working on large oil platforms for major companies, where his skills, commitment, and expertise have earned him a respected place in the industry.

Outside of work, Mark enjoys a life grounded in family values and personal passions. He loves spending his time playing golf, swimming, bowling, and taking long country drives. These hobbies not only bring him joy but also balance the intensity of his professional life. At his core, Mark is a family-oriented man who values love, connection, and the simple but meaningful experiences of life. His story is one of resilience, hard work, and a deep appreciation for both the blessings and challenges that have shaped him along the way.
