Before taking an extended hiatus, his longest project was the front man for the pop-rock band "Vision" and he also spent some time in Toronto fronting the metal band "Viper"....Mark plays acoustic and electric guitars, and keyboards, and his vocals are second to none! Singing REO, Styx, and Journey like no one else can! His knowledge, talent and love of all kinds of music allows FLIPSIDE the ability to go from hard hitting Rock and Roll like Billy Idol and Ozzy Osborne to Pop Standards, and ballads. Throw in some of todays Top Country Acts like Luke Bryan, Eric Church and Darius Rucker, and he gives the band the versatility to cover any kind of event!

John comes from many successful groups such as Buffalo Music Award Winners, "Mae West" as well as nominees that include "Metropalis" and "Acoustic Forum". His visual showmanship enriches his guitar playing. John’s supporting vocals round out the full harmonies taking numerous lead vocals as well. John joined on as our "guitar wizard" with FLIPSIDE in 2007!
