Mark French grew up on a small, northeastern Iowa farm in Clayton County, where his family raised Arabian and Quarter horses. At just 12-years old, Mark took his first customer service job, working a summer position at his father's resort in northern Minnesota. He has now been in customer service, in one form or another, for over 30 years. This includes being here at Riverside Casino since six weeks after Grand Opening.
Mark is a proud veteran who jumped from airplanes while serving in the US Army's legendary 82nd Airborne Division. His adventurousness has helped to keep up a strong connection to the outdoors. He is happiest when kayaking, camping, diving, snorkeling or just sitting outside with a good book. He even once worked as a Rocky Mountain horseback trail guide. His three favorite foods are Mexican food, Italian food and sushi. His three favorite people are his brother and two sisters. His three favorite vacation spots are the Caribbean, Key West, and anywhere aboard a cruise ship.
