Mark Alvarado

Mark Alvarado is a longtime Santa Barbara local since the age of two, and was very involved in sports throughout high school and college. He shared that being involved in sports was very instrumental in instilling a sense of identity, responsibility, and integrity from a young age. It gave him a drive and motivation to pursue success and excellence in other areas of his life as well. As an adult, Mark wanted to give back and invest in the younger generation of students in the same way, so he took to coaching. He’s faced many challenges in his life, but that resilience he learned in sports stuck with him and kept him going throughout each individual struggle.
