Keynote Speakers

Mark's comedy path started when he founded a comedy troupe, called Mom's Apple Pie that performed at high schools and colleges.

When the group disbanded Mark went solo, combining his comedy with leadership training and messages about making connections. Thee demand for Mark as a speaker skyrocketed and he left his marketing position at Jostens in 1984. He and his wife, Susan founded Scharenbroich and Associates, a motivational speaking and leadership training video production company. Mark quickly became known as a leading connections expert in developing leaders and transforming the culture of an organization. He is an award-winning keynote speaker, winner of an Emmy Award as writer/producer for an ABC TV special, and recipient of several international film awards.
