Hey there - I'm Mark,
aka TikiTender
From running service at World Golf Village, to earning my nickname at Henry’s Harborside Lounge, to a decade behind the stick at the Golden Lion Café, I’ve spent nearly 30 years keeping the Fun Coast buzzing.
Along the way, I founded Fun Coast Bartending, now the go-to team for weddings, galas, and celebrations across Flagler, Volusia, and beyond.
These days, you’ll find me mixing cocktails, spinning playlists, and still chasing the same thing I always have: good times, shared well.
Pouring Back Into The Community
More than just a bartender — I’m a neighbor, a fundraiser, a hype man, and your favorite event collaborator.
Over the years, I’ve had the honor of working with incredible organizations like ReThreaded, Flagler County Education Foundation, Vincent's clubhouse, and dozens of local nonprofits, businesses, and wedding couples.
When I say "Fun Coast," I mean it — and I’ve probably bartended for your cousin’s cousin’s birthday party.
Community Causes
Support, service, and spotlighting good work.
From Vincent’s Clubhouse to fundraisers for the Flagler County Education Foundation, I’m proud to bring the bar (and the heart) to causes that matter here on the Fun Coast. Whether it’s mocktails for a youth gala or rum flights for a street party fundraiser, I believe every pour can help make a difference.
Wedding & Events
Celebrating milestones, one pour at a time.
From a backyard wedding, a black-tie gala, or your cousin’s 40th, I’ve been behind the bar for thousands of unforgettable nights across Volusia & Flagler. Through Fun Coast Bartending, my team and I make sure every event is handled with care. Each celebration is unique, but our goal is always the same — to keep things smooth, stress-free, and full of flavor.
Mentoring & Leadership
Sharing what I’ve learned — and learning as I share.
With nearly three decades of hospitality under my belt, I’ve poured more than just drinks — I’ve poured into people. From mentoring new bartenders and young entrepreneurs to helping others find their footing in hospitality, I’m committed to supporting the next generation of service pros.
