Mark Direen
Because life should be measured in experience not time.
My background is built on a military career, security and safety contracting, expedition guiding, and training. My first 50 years were shaped by service and adventure. Now, I’m focused on making the next 50 count even more — through epic experiences, travel, photography, writing, and storytelling.
My book What’s the Point? captures my reflections and experiences, encouraging people to live with intent and get after their own adventures. I’m also part of Dog Tag Whiskey, a brand built on mateship and remembering those who have served others.
In my work, I share the transformative power of lived experiences. Get out, do things, and learn for yourself. That’s where real growth comes from.
