Making up the 'M' in JMJ Entertainment, Mark Priest is a native of upstate New York, (Fairport to be precise - the Green part of the State).

After transplanting to Orlando, Florida, in 1989, Mark became a veteran of the Central Florida attractions industry with stints at Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Sleuth's Mystery Dinner Theatre and King Henry's Feast, to name a few.

Mark first honed his considerable improv, street performance and story-telling skills with years of Renaissance faire experience, first in New York and Pennsylvania and later in Florida. This background served him exceptionally well on the TV show, "The Buckaroo Club with Ranger Bob," where he created multiple characters to interact with the show's host, Ranger Bob (played brilliantly by Tim Kincade).

Together with his partners, Jeff Evans and Jeff Breslauer, Mark recently directed and created many of the voices for the aural spectacular, Sounds Abound© On All Hallows Eve.

A professional actor, writer, director, comedian and Sherlock Holmes buff, Mark still resides in Orlando with his "children," Corwin, Wicket and Sister, three "kittens" he adopted when they were abandoned by their mother at The Civic Theatre. They are loving, adorable creatures. They just don't seem to realize that they are now the size of Shetland ponies.
