Keynote speaker
Mark Houck
Founder & President of The King's Men, Inc.
Mark is an author and internationally known motivational speaker who developed in 2004 a highly successful ministry to help others become better leaders, protectors and providers. As a devout Catholic and proud pro-life advocate he has recently come under attack for living out his faith.
At 7am on Friday, September 23, 2022 SWAT team members showed up at the home of Mark and his family. These agents had guns drawn and shields up in the faces of Mark, his wife, and their seven young children. Mark was handcuffed in front of his family and arrested.
Mark's "crime" was protecting his son from an aggressive Planned Parenthood escort in downtown Philadelphia.
Last year, Mark and his son were praying in front of Planned Parenthood when one of the escorts began harassing Mark's son as they walked down the street away from the entrance to the building. The escort followed them, and when he continued yelling at Mark's son, Mark pushed him away. While the interaction is all on video and local authorities declined to bring a case, that didn’t stop Planned Parenthood and the Current Administration from trying to send a message of intimidation to the Pro-Life community. Mark is resolved in fighting this intimidation and supporting those that are attacked for the promotion of their faith.
As a former All-American collegiate athlete and high school coach, Mark has drawn on his personal pursuit of excellence in sports to encourage and mentor thousands across North America and Europe. Through his seasoned life experience as a human resource manager, youth counselor and high school teacher, Mark brings practical insight and wisdom to all his presentations. He has a B.A. in Human Resource Management from Catholic University and holds a Master’s degree in Education from Holy Family University.
