Mark Watson
Founder/CEO
Mark is a passionate entrepreneur dedicated to innovation and community engagement.
With over 25 years in the service industry, he has navigated the challenges of running small businesses,
including his own mobile mechanic and home repair service, as well as a successful multi-inspector home inspection company.
Throughout his journey, Mark has experienced the heavy burden of striving for growth through all the necessary sacrifices.
He understands the frustration that comes with navigating a vast array of marketing and sales options, only to encounter
unreliable promises from potential partners. This led him to envision a platform where professionals, or "Pros," can
focus on what they do best—mastering their craft—without the added stress of marketing and sales responsibilities.
Mark believes that by removing these burdens, professionals can enhance their service and prioritize their customers' needs.
To address these challenges, Mark created U'GO Pros, a platform designed to connect consumers with qualified professionals seamlessly.
