Mark Hancock is the CEO of Trail Life USA, a Christian alternative to the Boy Scouts. When it became obvious that the Boy Scouts of America was going to bow to the pressure of gay activists, Florida attorney John Stemberger helped organize Trail Life USA in 2013. In January of 2014 Stemberger officially incorporated Trail Life USA and hired Mark Hancock to be the group's first Chief Executive Officer. Under Mark Hancock's leadership, Trail Life has grown from startup to nearly 30,000 members in just the past three years.
