Born June 10, 1944 in Burlington, he was the son of Norman A. and Mary M. Hertel Steingreaber. He married the love of his life, Elizabeth (Beth) Trentz on June 12, 1965, in Dubuque, IA.

Mark graduated from Notre Dame High School in 1962. He began working at The Hawk Eye in June of 1962 as an apprentice in the pressroom.

His family and their activities were his world. He also loved his circle of friends with whom he and Beth traveled the United States.
