Meet Mark
Hi, I’m Mark! I’m a percussionist, composer, and handpan nerd based in Colorado. My passion for music has taken me all over the world—from performing and teaching across the U.S. to sharing the magic of the handpan through Europe and China.
When I’m not playing or teaching, you’ll probably find me composing, producing music, or working on some other creative projects (you wear many hats as an independent artist!). I’m also the author of the Hal Leonard Handpan Method, the first handpan method book published in the U.S., and a founder of Steel Mountain Handpan Gathering, Colorado’s biggest handpan event.
The handpan is more than just an instrument to me—it’s a way of connecting with people and unlocking your creativity. Whether you’re brand new to the handpan or just looking to deepen your skills, I’m excited to help you on your journey.
