Editor’s Note: Mark Boyer graduated from the Marshall School of Business at USC in 1985 with a degree in Finance. While at USC, Boyer was a four-year letterman in football helping lead the way to a Pac-10 Championship in 1984 and a win over Ohio State in the 1985 Rose Bowl. Awards while at USC include being a member of the 1984 Pac-10 All-Academic Team, three-time recipient of the David X. Marks Foundations “Scholar Athlete Award of Honor,” and the John Wayne Memorial Scholarship. He was also involved with Athletes in Action to help start a chapel program on campus. Boyer went on to play eight years in the National Football League, starting at tight end for the Indianapolis Colts and New York Jets. Upon retiring due to injury, Boyer began working at a local advisory firm for eight years where his own money was being managed. In 2002, he started Boyer Financial Services, a Newport Beach full-service wealth management firm, clearing through LPL Financial, a registered investment adviser. Last year, Edison High School inducted him into its Athletic Hall of Fame and retired his jersey number. Boyer has also remained involved in athletics by working to advance the impact of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) sports ministry on the West Coast.
Oh, how times have changed … and have not changed at the same time!
Even though I grew up on the beaches of Southern California, football was always a passion at Edison High School in Huntington Beach. As a former quarterback converted to tight end, we won the CIF championship my senior year 55-0.
