With a little more love and a little more laughter. A little more good vibes, less disaster. You know today would be a very good day just to have a good day. All day long.
As the director of people & culture, Mark focuses on fostering a positive workplace culture and enhancing the employee experience for all Meyer employees. He designs, leads and administers all aspects of People & Culture operations in a way that centers employees, builds trust and strengthens Meyer as an organization.
Meyer’s value of curiosity deeply resonates with Mark. He believes in leveraging individuals' strengths to achieve success and embracing a growth mindset, especially when things don’t go as planned.

He’s also been an HR consultant to various nonprofits, including the Nonprofit Association of Oregon, Oregon Humanities, Parenting with Intent, and several small, culturally specific organizations.
