About

American humorist and writer, Mark Twain, said, “Really great people make you feel that you, too, can become great.” That quote captures the essence of Mark Arens.

Mark is an adventurer and a highly
successful business owner. His companies
have generated over $125,000,000 in sales
over the last 20 years. He has a vision for
improving lives by introducing ideas and
methods which he calls the “Thumbuddy Effect”
to people around the world.

Weaving thought provoking and personal stories into fresh new ideas, Mark
inspires and teaches people how to live the abundant life that so many want. Mark delivers a powerful and pragmatic message that not only inspires, but gives practical tools to change lives for the better. He says, “Inspiration can only go so far. After that, we need perspiration and the right skills to make our ideas come to life.”

Mark spent 2½ years in seminary and has a theology degree from St. Thomas. Repeatedly honored as an owner of one of the top insurance agencies in the country, he has spoken nationally on relationships, relationship selling and
effective networking.

As an avid rock-climber, mountain biker, snowshoer, skier, snowboarder,
kayaker, canoeist, instrument rated pilot, scuba diver and hang-glider, Mark loves to push himself past physical and mental
boundar ies. Mark refers to his wife, Julie, as his best friend. Becoming a first time dad at age 47, he is now the father of two toddlers who are his inspiration for life.

Mark says, “My biggest thrill comes when I’m told how I have positively influenced someones business and life. I know people are struggling and need guidance. I’m happy to give back from the abundant blessings I’ve had in my life. I talk to so many people who are hungry, sometimes even starving to improve their lives.”

Just as we leave our unique thumbprints everywhere we go, Mark believes we all leave our unique imprint on the lives of others. When you have the “Thumbuddy Effect” in your life, you’ll know it – and everyone you touch will want it.
