About Mark
Hello Louisiana:
I am Mark Prinzel, a REALTOR® with Keller Williams Realty Acadiana serving the real estate wants, needs, & dreams of Louisiana.
Since I was kid, I have always given my best to be my best even if my efforts did NOT make me the best.
As a student, I tried to NOT just to learn what I needed to know to do well on an exam, but I tried to learn to better understand how I could make use of the learned material. While I usually did not set the class curve - sometimes I did.
Before I was an athlete, I remember timing myself using the 2nd hand on our living room wall clock to time myself how long it took me to run to my neighborhood corner store, slam a Coke, & run back, & always trying to best my previous best. Essentially, I was training before I knew that I was training. As an athlete, I trained well, I ate well, & I slept well so that I could race & compete well. While I did NOT always win the race - sometimes I did.
I did NOT graduate Valedictorian or even graduate in the top 10 in my high school class. Also, I NEVER qualified for my high school state track & field championships. However, by always trying to give my best to be my best I was successful earning an academic & an athletic scholarship to college.
Following my graduation from McNeese State University, in Lake Charles, LA in 1987, I continued to learn while I earned. I returned for additional educational stints, & I returned to athletics. Through continued learning, I stepped up the complexity of my primary subject material from undergraduate science to undergraduate engineering & I expanded my knowledge base to master’s level studies in business & science. & through continued growth as an athlete I was successful earning an invitation to the 1996 Olympic Marathon Trials, won an Amateur National Ironman Championship Title, & I was ranked as the Number 1 ranked Master’s triathlete in America at 32, 39, & 40 years of age. Additionally, I finished with multiple overall top 10 finished in amateur national triathlon championships & multiple top 10 age group finishes at the Ironman World Championships.
I hold a Luxury Homes Certification, & a Residential Real Estate Divorce Specialist Certification from the Residential Real Estate Council (RRC). I have also obtained insurance licenses in accident, health, life, property & casualty, & variable annuity insurance contracts, & public adjusting, & I have taken countless continuing education courses in everything from athletics to environmental property & real estate inspections taxes, & a lot of stuff in between.
What learning has taught me is that the more I learn, the more there is to learn, & sometimes the more there is to relearn. Also, I certainly do NOT remember everything that I have learned, however the most important lesson that I have learned from all the learning in accademics to athletics, & all of the life inbetween is that learning has helped me in my quest to always prepare well in order to give my best to be my best, & it has helped shaped me into who I am today, & who I will become tomorrow.
