Mark Lumpkin is a proud girl dad, avid traveler, and passionate chef who has explored more than 30 countries and over 40 U.S. states. His love for short-term rentals (STRs) began a decade ago, when he realized hotels and hostels couldn’t provide the comfort and freedom he craved while traveling. STRs offered the perfect solution—space to cook, relax, and truly feel at home.

Before diving into the world of STRs, Mark built a strong career in B2B sales across industries such as cannabis, real estate, and automotive. Today, he has helped investors successfully launch and manage over 500 top-performing short-term rentals.

As the founder of STR Cribs, Mark oversees everything from renovations to design, ensuring properties are transformed from their current condition into guest-ready experiences. His mission is simple: deliver outstanding stays for guests while driving strong returns for investors.
