Mark Fortgang


Following a professional performing career Mark cut his teeth in the production world coordinating jazz-based films for CTI records in NYC. His work on both domestic and international productions would serve him well in what would become a successful stint in the demanding commercial production world. In 1993 he co-founded U Direct Productions in NYC where he became an award winning producer and editor of commercials, corporate films and new media projects. He teamed with Malcolm MacDougall Jr. in 1999 to form Salt Pond Productions, which produced unique corporate and broadcast projects. PeopleStories was established in 2002.

Mark lives in New Jersey with his wife Laura, an internationally known author and speaker and their three children.
