If someone ever asks you who caught the Touchdown pass that sent the game into Overtime on “The Drive” in the Broncos’ January 11, 1987 AFC Championship Game victory over the Cleveland Browns, you can tell them it was Mark Jackson. If that is the only thing you remember about Mark, I’m sure he’d be okay with that, but there is more to the 5’-9”, 180 lb. one-third of the Denver Broncos Wide Receiver trio known as “The Three Amigos,” than that. The rest of Mark Jackson ’s career with the Broncos would solidify him as a Broncos legend. Undoubtedly the most colorful of the Three Amigos, Mark Jackson possesses a smile that won’t quit and a huge heart to go with it.

Off the football field, Mark cherishes his role as a loving father to his daughter Tiana and son Kyle. He is a serial entrepreneur having owned many businesses including a restaurant, mortgage company, insurance agency, nutrition and financial education just to name a few. Mark is an experienced CEO with a demonstrated history of working with companies and individuals in the matters of business building and personal finance. He is quick to point out that EVERYBODY is on a TEAM in life… Family, Church, Community, work… He uses sports as a platform to help others improve their personal and professional development making real, sustainable change.

Mark Jackson is also quick to lend his name, reputation, and time to many nonprofits: A Precious Child, Big Brothers, Vitalant (Bonfils)Blood Center, Children’s Hospital (Red Wagon Race/chips for children’s), D.A.R.E., Ronald McDonald House, Exempla Saint Joseph, The Center for African American Health, Muscular Dystrophy Association (Muscle Team), Shaka Franklin, Colorado Prevention Center’s Healthy Heart Program, Sisters of Color, Metro Denver’s Rebuild Together, Denver Street School, Open Door Youth Gang Alternatives, Make a Wish, March of Dimes (Walk America/Mud Volleyball) and Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure just to name a few. Recently, Mark launched his own non-profit: Recruiting Classroom to assist underserved kids play sports. Whether it’s a youngster who can’t afford to join the local community league because of the costs involved, to the high school athlete who needs the education to confidently navigate the recruiting process.

Mark has a Public Relations degree from Purdue University and is an expert in Communication and Personal Development.
