Mark’s wife Toni Dudley shares, “I have first-hand knowledge of how hard Mark works and how much he cares for the people of this community. He gives heart and soul for the people that work for him and the people he works for as they search and find their first home or their new dream home. I feel Mark is most deserving of this award as a successful graduate of Greenfield High School for his many years of involvement in the community, his generous and giving spirit and he even has a street named ‘Mark Dudley Drive’ for his many years of service to the City of Greenfield’s Park Department.”
Over the years, and in reflecting on his education right here in Greenfield, Mark knows that relationships are of vital importance. Slowing down and enjoying the experiences of today is worth it!
