Main Street Pilot Executive Team

In Memoriam: Mark Stratton (1958-2018)

Programming Director & Founder

Mark began his fascination with the ability to influence behavior starting with two tours in the United States Marine Corps. After the first Gulf War, Mark started a two decades career in hardware and software technology companies that have had monumental impact on interrelational behavior including global access to information on any device at any time.  

His first interest in interrelational skills shifted in the 1990s as the opportunity to communicate around the world accelerated and the ability to do it with self-respect and honor declined in an equally dramatic manner.  Mark has enjoyed the success and failure of both startups and global Fortune 500 operations to earn a senior perspective and capability to initiate and market new products and services in both mature and emerging markets alike.

Brian Searcy, CEO & Co-Founder

For over twenty years Brian was involved in critical operations as a career Air Force senior officer.  Brian had the responsibility of interrelational skills development and managing operations, including combat operations, with growing skill shortages. He not only knows firsthand the impact of personal skill shortages, he is keenly aware of the limitations of most training and skill development options in educational, commercial, and government markets.

Brian continues his thirty-one-year leadership journey after receiving two advanced degrees in leadership, operating responsibility for billions of dollars of assets, founding startups, publishing expert works, and public speaking.

Curtis Stratton, CCO

Curtis’ experience in content creation has seen him publish several books, be featured in numerous publications as a contributor (including D Magazine), work as a copywriter for an international PR firm, and lead several projects in the video and audio mediums.  His career has a professional writer began in high school with a publishing deal at 17.

He was accepted at the University of North Texas before deciding to become MSP’s first content editor and protégé under his father, Mark Stratton.  Mark’s twenty-seven years of senior corporate experience and interrelation behavior enabled him to mentor and work with Curtis’ natural abilities in producing MSP’s first book, Inspired Right.  Curtis now leads the modernization of the content platform, as well as the creation and development of the KnownScore™ algorithm.
