Mark’s lessons extend far beyond the boundaries of Wall Street. He is a disciple of the belief that a person can achieve anything within their natural abilities via education and dedication.
Exemplifying that philosophy, Gomes turned his attention to Track & Field upon his retirement in 2008. In 2011, he became the U.S. Masters 800 Meter Champion. In 2016, he focused on the 400 Meter event and won the Masters World Championship later that year.
He retired with the World title and multiple Masters World Records. His memoir, “Faster Than Forty” detailed the diet, lifestyle, and training that enabled him to shed 50 pounds and return to Track & Field after a 13-year hiatus. Information can be found at www.fasterthanforty.com.
Mark has since turned his attention to competitive battle rapping (warning: explicit material). With this endeavor, “Money Mark” hopes to teach young adults in urban communities that anything is truly possible with the proper education and dedication.
