Entrepreneur | CEO, Mark Weber Enterprises | Co-Founder, LEAD Professionals Group | Inventor of GreatCatch
Mark Weber is a husband, father, and serial entrepreneur who has spent more than three decades building businesses, mentoring people, and turning ideas into market-tested products. Based in Lafayette, Louisiana, Mark is CEO of Mark Weber Enterprises, a multi-layered company spanning real estate, investments, insurance, and mortgage lending. His career has crossed nearly every corner of the financial services landscape — financial adviser, insurance agent, mortgage lender, and real estate investor — giving him a uniquely comprehensive lens on how deals actually get done and how wealth is built and preserved across generations.
A former college football player at the University of Arkansas at Monticello, where he earned his bachelor's degree in business, Mark's love for the game ultimately led him to co-invent the GreatCatch soft hands trainer. He licensed GreatCatch to Cutters Gloves in 2007 and to SKLZ in 2013, landing the product on shelves in sporting goods stores around the world — a rare entrepreneurial arc that took a backyard idea to global retail distribution.
Beyond his enterprises, Mark is Co-Owner and Co-Founder of LEAD Professionals Group, where he works alongside a team of coaches, consultants, and speakers to develop leaders, strengthen teams, and help individuals move forward with purpose. Mark is passionate about mentoring and coaching entrepreneurs and young professionals on life, leadership, and business — believing that the best deals are built on trust, relationships, and character long before they're built on spreadsheets.
Mark and his wife Joy have two children, Casey and Catherine, and call Lafayette, Louisiana home.
