Biography

Mark Z. Muggleton was born in the charming town of New Milford, Connecticut, and spent his formative years in the picturesque suburb of New City, New York. Following his academic pursuits, Mark earned a degree in Theater from the esteemed State University of New York at Binghamton, after which he further honed his craft as a graduate student at the renowned American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. Subsequently, Mark made the move to Los Angeles, where he embarked on a successful career in film and television.

At one point, Mark's talents were showcased on the big screen in the 1987 cult comedy "Terminal Exposure," and on television in a series of commercials for Jordache Basics, a popular clothing brand. His on-screen presence also extended to Saturday morning television, where he starred in the children's series "Kideo TV."

Mark spent nearly five years in this capacity before relocating to Colorado Springs in the mid-1990s. In Colorado, he taught at Community Prep School, a charter high school for at-risk students.

During his time in Colorado, Mark remained actively involved in the theater world, working as an actor, director, producer, and Artistic Director on over 80 productions. He had the opportunity to work alongside Broadway veterans such as Kelly Walters, Susan Dawn Carson, and Leah Chandler (Mills),and was involved in several notable productions, including tours of Shakespearean plays, the western premiere of "Doubt," and the western premiere of "Rabbit Hole."
