Mark McCray - Massage Therapy
Mark McCray (NUHS '02) spent about 12 years as a counselor for
the Juvenile Department of Corrections before finding his calling
as a massage therapist.
He first discovered the field after receiving massages as a way
to relax before his stressful job. "That sensation that I
felt, I wanted to give to other people," he said.
Today, after 15 years in the business, McCray's full-time career
continues to thrive. He's worked in various upscale hotels and
resorts in Las Vegas and currently works in Atlanta, where he meets
a wide range of clients, including those in the film industry.
In the near future, McCray said he's looking forward to doing
more traveling and working in different places. "As long as you can
get your licensing taken care of you can massage basically anywhere
in the world," McCray said.
