Mark Creger

Mark was born and raised in Rock Island, Illinois. He attended University of Wisconsin – La Crosse, majoring in Recreation Management, with the desire to someday manage a ski resort. After college, he worked at Big Sky Resort in Montana and skied every chance he could. However, he soon realized that vacationing at a ski resort is much different than living at one, and abandoned the life of a ski bum.

He moved back home to find a position in sales open at Stoney Creek – Moline. After working in sales and operations, he found his true passion in revenue management, leading with a servant attitude, and driving results. He’s doing what he’s always wanted to do, working in hospitality, just not on a mountain! He resides in Des Moines, IA, with his wife, Cynthia, and son, Maverick. He enjoys running, golfing, cycling, and watching all Chicago sports. He still finds time to hit the slopes, occasionally.
