MARK PEELER  is Director of Athletics and Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Erskine College. He is a graduate of the University of the South (Sewanee) where he received a B.A. in Political Science. He earned his Master’s degree from Winthrop University. He and his wife, Maggie, have three children: Hope, Jenkins, and Max. They live in Due West. Why does Mark volunteer with FCA? "FCA is important to me because I see an opportunity through sports to minister to young people.

I considered attending seminary as a senior at Sewanee, but I learned that ministry can come in different forms, and through my passion for sports—specifically basketball—I could further the cause for Jesus. The goal of FCA is winning; winning for Jesus, and we can never win enough!"
