Mark Anderson

It all began when Mark was a child watching the Brady Bunch. He was obsessed with Mr. Brady and his job as an architect. “It was so cool how he would create a 24-story high-rise building overnight.” 

Mark now knows that kind of timeline is impossible, but he still strives for the results Mike Brady demonstrated. He thrives in leading complex projects requiring strong organizational skills, a talent he learned from his dad. Growing up, Mark’s father would often play chess with him, encouraging him to think multiple moves ahead. That knack for considering outcomes before reacting, he says, “is a philosophy that serves me on a daily basis.” 

Mark used that insight while leading several of DesignGroup’s most complex healthcare projects. He takes a balanced approach to leadership, focusing on employee communication and understanding. His deep understanding of program development ensures a process responsive to environment, function, phasing and cost requirements -- delivered on time and on budget. Coworkers love this balance of work style and creativity. 

When he’s not at work, you can find Mark playing outdoor sports such as golf or frisbee with his family. Indoors, he’s quite the board game enthusiast. He admits he’s “very competitive in spirit” – no doubt thanks to all those games of chess.
