He has served in diverse leadership and teaching roles, developing student-athletes both on and off the field. Mark has a bachelor's degree from Millikin University (Decatur, IL) and holds a Master of Education with an emphasis in coaching from Greenville University (Greenville IL). He has owned and operated a sports performance facility focused on speed, strength, and agility training. His experiences have also provided opportunities to be a guest speaker in a variety of venues which he thoroughly enjoys.

Mark brings a lifelong passion for teaching and coaching to every endeavor and especially now to providing strength training programming for his clients. Building strength is fundamental to one's quality of life. As a strength coach working with people of all ages over the years as well as experimenting personally with different programming in his own training, Mark has come to embrace the necessity of the basic barbell lifts (squat, press, deadlift, bench). These lifts help to provide the foundation for strength regardless of what age you are! If you learn the basic barbell lifts following Coach Ambrose's direction in your programming, you will reap the benefits of being strong all life-long! Hubba Hubba!
