Hey I’m Mark, a beach volleyball athlete living in Hermosa Beach, CA. I work as a full time video producer and director while pursuing my athletic dreams as a beach volleyball player.
Mark Bucknam | Beach Volleyball Athlete
I am a beach volleyball player living in Hermosa Beach, CA. As someone who is working to earn a spot on the professional tour both in the US and internationally, I also work as a freelance video producer while pursuing beach, and really enjoy having both a professional and athletic pursuit. This year, I’ll be competing internationally to represent the United States, as well as domestically on the prestigious AVP Beach Volleyball tour.
This season I’m working with a strength coach as well as a skills coach on the beach to try and elevate my level as I enter my 5th season playing beach volleyball.
Sponsorship opportunities are available, and I’m happy to discuss any options to explore how I can best represent you and your brand.
Sponsorship Options
Playing beach volleyball is a labor of love. This sport is significantly underfunded, and athletes are completely self supported until they reach the pinnacle of the sport and earn a spot on the US Olympic Committee’s funded athletes team. I work hard with my sponsors to deliver value and represent them well both in the US and abroad at practices and in matches, as well as online.
