​Mark the Shark was born in 1983, but the story of MTS started in 2002 down on the beach of Nantasket in Hull, Massachusetts. It was there that a friend of mine, and former co worker, had seen me all summer in the water or down the boardwalk talking to everyone in site - he said "You're like a Shark ! - That's it, you're Mark the Shark from now on". From there, the story began.

When Myspace and Facebook were inv​ented - yes I am that old 😂, I never wanted to put my last name on the internet - my username for both sites was Mark the Shark. During my freshman year of college, everyone on campus was calling me either Shark, or MTS, or just Mark the Shark - it just became my new identity overnight. I actually made my first tee shirt in 2005 as a junior and wore it to the gym often.

…as if people didn’t already know who I was.

Fast forward to 2022 - 20 years after the name had begun - I came upon a show about a brand I grew up loving as a teenager and aspired to work for one day. While watching it - it was like a lighting bolt hit me and the idea of building my own brand came to life, right before my eyes! As a clothing brand - I am committed to providing you with comfortable,  long-lasting clothing that looks good, but more importantly makes you feel incredible. They make you feel Cool !

The goal isn't to give people what their asking for, but to make them ask for what your offering !

Hope every item you purchase makes you feel the same way I do…as I have created it just for you.
