From the Bronx NY, Graduated from West Virginia University Major in Business Administration minor in Sports Communication. Been running a business for 10+ years. My favorite part of the business is being a contributing factor to someone's personal & professional development.

My number 1 motivation is to leave a legacy. Creating generational wealth and making an impact on my culture & community. Loves everything sports; talking, playing & attending sporting events. A small thing that makes my day better is seeing a picture of my daughter.

A hobby of mine is riding my bike!

Mark Pe

Account Manager

Hi. I’m Mark Pe. As a young man with many career dreams, I started working from a young age in the hospitality industry with jobs that included bartending, serving tables, bar-backing, bussing tables and even working in hotels.

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work, but when combined, it’s a scary scenario.”

I couldn’t agree more with the quote mentioned above. Life introduced me to the marketing industry, and I haven’t looked back. I have been in this industry for two years. I love that our company allows me to provide opportunities daily and work with people who have good intentions and inspire others to be great. I enjoy working with well-known businesses across industries and helping my clients reach their products and services to their target audience.

I have several personal and professional goals that I want to achieve in the next few years. I want to continue teaching others how to run a business as effectively as mine. I also want to promote seven people to management roles this year. On the personal front, I look forward to getting engaged within the next few months and going on family vacations with my kids and family. I am working towards building a national organization across 30 cities. I also want to create a non-profit organization in the neighborhood I grew up in to help educate low-income families on financial literacy and equip the youth with the proper tools to succeed.

Looking ahead, I want to retire my mom who’s worked so hard all her life, so I want to be able to pay it forward. I see myself being able to consult for over 30 offices, while being happily married, My kids and my family motivate me to keep working hard. I have two little boys who depend on me to provide them with the future that I didn’t have growing up.

I hope my continued mentorship, my drive, and my passion never change. I derive great strength from relationship-building and leading by example.

I believe the small things in life inspire you to do great things. I wake up with gratitude, take my oldest to school, wake up an hour earlier than supposed to spend time with my newborn and I wake up to an opportunity to build something for my future. I meditate twice a day; it helps me wind down and relax. Thanksgiving Day is my favorite time of the year as I get to self-reflect on what I’m grateful for and give back.

Jannel Chavez

Account Manager

My name is Jannel and I'm one of the Account Managers here. I moved to NYC from Albuquerque, New Mexico in 2023 and started working at Crosstown Solutions shortly after. My biggest motivation to continue to work hard is to be financially free and to support my mother. In my free time, I like to play soccer and go to the gym. To unwind, I spend some time outdoors.

A quote that I live by is "It is never too late to be what you might have been."

Account Manager

My name is Laury and I'm an Account Manager with Coastal Connections. I've been in the business for about a year now, but what I enjoy most about working here is the continual development! I'm originally from the Dominican Republic and moved to New York City when I was about 7 years old.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring the city and anything music!

Providing for my family in the US and back in the Dominican Republic is what motivates me to do my best every single day!
