Mark Siegel

Meet Mark and Lisa Siegel, a couple whose roots run deep in the Christian Central Academy (CCA) community. Mark, a proud graduate of CCA's Class of 1987, shares a rich legacy closely tied to the school’s history, thanks in large part to the foundational work of his father, Don Siegel. Don played a pivotal role as a board member in shaping CCA during the 1970s, championing the vision of a Christian education anchored in strong moral and spiritual values. His influence and leadership were instrumental in ensuring that CCA remained a beacon of faith-based learning for future generations. Mark and Lisa’s connection to CCA began in the classroom—Miss Chaffee's 5th-grade class, to be exact—where their friendship grew into a lifelong bond. What started as childhood camaraderie blossomed into a beautiful, enduring marriage. For over 31 years, Mark and Lisa have journeyed together, building not only a family but also a business and a life grounded in the values they first learned at CCA. Today, they are proud parents of three wonderful daughters and have the joy of welcoming a son-in-law into their family. Their lives have taken them from the snowy expanses of Alaska to the scenic beauty of northeast Tennessee, where they’ve established roots near Mark's sister, Carrie, another CCA alum (Class of '88). Mark and Lisa are the dynamic force behind Siegel Services, an outdoor construction company specializing in erosion control and trail building. Their entrepreneurial spirit is coupled with a heart for mentoring the next generation, instilling the importance of hard work, integrity, and a sense of community in everything they do. The skills they developed in business echo the life lessons learned during their years at CCA, where the importance of strong character and faith were paramount.
