As a life-long summer resident, Tjark had the opportunity to move to the Island full-time in 2009 to assist his aging parents. Prior to living on the island, Tjark has been active in the real estate, marketing, and advertising industry throughout his professional career in New York City, Boston and Vermont.
He began his career in New York City and Boston, working in the computer graphics and advertising industries. It was at this point that he realized his love of the small town lifestyle, which led to a move to Vermont, where he launched an advertising agency and Vermont Recreation Magazine, a statewide publication focusing on sports and fitness. Later, he spent 7 years working in the not-for- profit organizations, first at the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers (VAST) and later at the Vermont State Chamber of Commerce as Director of Communications, where he provided marketing, design, and communications leadership for the organization and its partner organizations – Vermont Hospitality Council, Vermont Attractions Association, Vermont Business Expo, and Vermont Farms Association.
Once on Martha’s Vineyard, Tjark launched Homes on Martha’s Vineyard (HMV) in 2011, a full- service real estate sales and vacation rental firm. In 2019, Tjark joined eXp Realty, LLC as an Associate Broker.
When not focusing on real estate, he enjoys renovating a house in Edgartown. He is an avid skier, tennis player, and somewhat of a computer nerd. He also gets in trouble by watching too much HGTV. Tjark has 3 grown children and lives in Katama with his wife, 2 cats, and 1 Aussie Shepard.
