Coaching for Men

Mark has a particular passion for working with men who carry significant responsibilities but may have few places where they can openly talk through the pressures they experience.

Whether navigating marriage, fatherhood, career demands, leadership, retirement, military transition, or simply feeling stuck, Mark provides a straightforward and supportive space to talk openly, gain perspective, and determine what comes next. He helps men focus on what they can control, take ownership of what they want to change, and move forward with greater confidence and purpose.

Marriage & Relationship Growth

Mark works with individuals who want to become more intentional in their marriages and relationships. Coaching may focus on communication, personal responsibility, strengthening connection, navigating conflict, and learning how to show up more consistently for a spouse and family.

As the husband of Dr. Jodie Bergquist, Mark shares Redefine Life's commitment to helping individuals and couples build strong, connected, and meaningful relationships. Coaching and counseling services may complement one another when appropriate while remaining clearly defined as separate services.

Mark's Approach

Mark combines empathy and encouragement with practical accountability. His goal isn't simply to talk about what isn't working, but to help clients identify what they want to change and develop realistic steps toward getting there.

His philosophy is simple: meaningful change requires self-awareness, intentional choices, consistent action, and a willingness to grow.

Mark currently provides life coaching services and is completing graduate studies in counseling. Life coaching is distinct from psychotherapy and professional counseling.
