Director of Client Services
Mark has more than 10 years of experience managing projects and customer relations in the printing, fulfillment, and digital media replication (CD/DVD) industries. He has overseen numerous print projects for higher education institutions, including Baylor University, Texas Lutheran University, Rosemont College, Chowan University, William Woods University, Westminster College, Newbury College, and the University of Texas McCombs School of Business. Mark brings a knowledge of printing to the team that is especially helpful during the final stages of any project.
Mark has also implemented a Web-based solution for The Whelan Group that enables all creative associates, client-appointed staff, and The Whelan Group's consultants to communicate and track a project’s development online. This system and Mark’s great attention to detail always ensure that projects are meeting deadlines.
When not running our client service division, Mark can be found restoring vintage Broncos, hiking, camping, and—most importantly—spending quality time with his wife, Ruth, and dog, Keeper.
CEO, The Whitley Printing Company
Kevin has spent his 27-year career in the printing industry, working from apprentice equipment operator to department management and eventually ownership. Kevin was born and raised in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area; however, his career has taken him to other cities including Detroit, Cleveland, and Austin. While working in his native state of Maryland for 13 years he helped grow the company where he was general manager and partial owner at an average annual rate of 17%. The company was sold in 1999 when Kevin decided to travel to the Southwest in search of a warmer and dryer climate. This venture landed Kevin in Austin in 2000 where he joined Austin’s premier printing company, The Whitley Company. After acquiring Whitley in 2006, Kevin recognized that, as a company in a mature and competitive industry, The Whitley Company needed to diversify, which led him to seek the partnership of Dennis Whelan and form The Whelan Group.
Kevin’s passion for print has evolved into a passion for communications, crossing multiple mediums, including variable data digital printing, e-mail, and interactive Web communications. The integration of these offerings with superior creative concepts and high quality offset printing is the impetus behind The Whitley Company’s and The Whelan Group’s journey into the future.
Very few interests compete with his passion for his company and career, but he is occasionally distracted by classic cars and sailing.
