TATRC’s Medical Modeling Simulation, Information, and Visualization (MMSIV) group has added a new member to their team! Research Coordinator, Mr. Mark Spears, is the latest addition as part of the effort to expand data collection initiatives to the San Antonio area. Mr. Spears will be responsible for coordinating, conducting and overseeing data collection at Joint Base San Antonio. He will be collaborating with local command groups to maximize data collection opportunities while ensuring adherence with all applicable protocols and procedures.

Mark Spears is a recently retired United States Army First Sergeant, who served in various positions including the Senior Enlisted Advisor to the MEDCoE Graduate School Dean, Deputy Commander for Clinical Services NCOIC at Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center, and First Sergeant for HHC Company at Madigan Army Medical Center. His clinical training and experience includes a 20 year career as both a Cardiovascular Technologist and Combat Medic. His formal education includes a Master of Business Administration and Bachelor of Health Sciences from Excelsior College in Albany, NY. Mark is a Registered Cardiac Invasive Specialist (RCIS) and Registered Cardiac Sonographer (RCS).

Mark and his wife Rebecca have three children Caroline, Samuel and Henry Spears. When they aren’t enjoying San Antonio’s amenities, Mark and his family enjoy spending time at their Louisiana home hunting, fishing and playing golf in the Sportsman’s Paradise!

We’re thrilled to have Mark on the ground in Texas hill country to help further expand and advance MMSIV’s initiatives! Welcome to the team!
