Our Team
Mark Leskanic
President
With over 30+ years of experience in the Surety industry, Mark founded Surety Bond Professionals in 2015. After years of working for large bonding companies and insurance agencies, Mark recognized the need for a bond-only agency that not only met the needs of contractors, clients, and insurance agencies but streamlined and exceeded the expectation of what a bonding experience should be. With Surety Bond Professionals, Mark created a proprietary approach to bonding that complements our extensive network of underwriters and ensures our clients receive the best possible experience. Mark is an avid soccer enthusiast and when he’s not dominating the bonding world, he can often be found on the field shooting on goal.
