Mark Zigner, an international entrepreneur, grew up in Orange County and double majored in Psychology and Business. He is passionate about helping families who struggle with mental health challenges, drawing from firsthand experiences with his brother, whose battle with Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia took him from a successful career as the President of Newport Harbor High School and public relations firm employee to homelessness at 40.

Understanding that his brother’s story is only one of many, Mark recognizes the importance of mental health awareness and therapy. He strives to provide children with preventative tools to help them through their struggles, and endeavors to raise awareness around mental health and build stronger support systems for children and their families. He is excited to be part of the Extraordinary Lives Foundation (ELF) team and combine his passion and expertise with ELF’s mission and vision.
