Our Story

Mark’s journey in financial services started at a very young age. His parents were always interested in the stock market. When he was in seventh grade they took him to annual shareholder meetings in Minneapolis of Medtronic, St. Jude Medical and Sci Med Life Systems. As Mark states, “this led to my first investment experience. I had saved $16,000 and wanted to make my first investment.” This evolved to Mark visiting his parent’s financial advisor, who recommended a high-quality mutual fund. Mark shares, “however, I took the initiative to do my own research and made the decision to invest in one stock, St. Jude Medical. St Jude was eventually acquired by Abbott Labs, "a stock which I still own today.”

After college Mark made the decision to become an advisor on Wall Street. Mark continues, “I was visiting with a relative in NYC who was a senior executive for a global pharmaceutical company. He recommended that I start my career in NYC because that is where all the action is. I wanted to return to Minneapolis. He disagreed with me but did leave me with one piece of valuable advice. If you are going to work in Minneapolis, you must learn medical technology, he said. That has been my passion ever since and has allowed me to grow capital for my clients.”

These experiences and successes which go back to his early years were influential in Mark pursuing a life-long career in financial services. Today, Mark has thoughtfully instilled this knowledge across his entire team. Bristol Bay Partners continues to focus on our three core competencies: personalized financial planning, optimal portfolio construction and a proprietary strategic emphasis within the medical technology sector.

Caleb Quenzer

Senior Wealth Strategy Associate

My grandfather was a farmer in Iowa. He was soft spoken and lived a simple life. What no one knew, not even my grandmother, was that he was a savvy investor. He had been acquiring farm land and investing in the stock market for over 35 years. When he passed away in 1997, my grandmother was not prepared for the responsibility of managing those assets. The entire family had to organize the investments. Shortly after his death, my grandmother was diagnosed with dementia and needed hospice care. Because of my grandfather’s investments, we had the capability to give her the care she needed and deserved. That was the beginning of my involvement in wealth management. One could say the reason I do what I do is because I love to help people navigate financial challenges and build wealth for their families. My grandfather taught me well.
