From Military Service to Senior Service: How Mark Piatt Found His Calling with Caring Transitions

Mark's Introduction to Caring Transitions and CT Bids

A few months ago, Nena Zimmerman of Jonesboro Right Now sat down with retired Air Force captain Mark Piatt to discuss his journey and personal connection to Caring Transitions.

For Mark, the transition into this business was deeply personal. After his father passed away, he and his family faced the overwhelming task of sorting through his father’s belongings. Reflecting on that experience, he shared in the interview:

“It was tough. We would have liked to spend more time with my mom rather than having to deal with all the junk.”

As he searched for a way to manage the items left behind, Mark remembered seeing a CT Bids ad before his father’s passing. That moment led him to explore Caring Transitions, and as he learned more about the company’s mission, he knew he had found his next career path.

A Passion for Helping Others

Mark saw Caring Transitions as more than just a business—it was an opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives. He found fulfillment in guiding families through difficult transitions, ensuring they could focus on what truly mattered. When asked why he loves owning a Caring Transitions franchise, he shared:

“Just being impactful on people’s lives. I’ve always looked for roles that were more a profession than a job—something where, when you come home at the end of the day, you feel like you’ve done good for somebody or something. It’s a very rewarding job.”

For Mark, Caring Transitions isn’t just about downsizing and estate sales—it’s about helping families navigate life’s transitions with compassion and care. His story is a testament to how personal experiences can lead to fulfilling careers, and why Caring Transitions continues to attract franchise owners who are passionate about making a difference.
