Mark Seidenburg enters his fourth season with the Falcons in 2015-16. A native of Philadelphia, Pa., Seidenburg holds a Bachelor’s Degree in History from Elizabethtown College and an Elementary Education from Wilson College.
A graduate of Cardinal Doughtery High School in Philadelphia, Pa., Seidenburg was a captain as a freshman member of the Manor Junior College basketball team before playing one season with Elizabethtown College.
Prior to arriving at Messiah, Seidenburg worked as an assistant coach with both Dickinson College and PSU-Harrisburg. While at PSU-Harrisburg from 2010-2012, Seidenburg was a part of teams that set school records for conference wins and total wins, in back to back years. He also coached five all conference players and helped PSU-Harrisburg reach two conference tournament championships, while claiming one regular season title.
Entering his fourth year on the bench for the Falcons, Seidenburg has helped to coach four All-Commonwealth Players, three 1,000 point scorers and in 2014 was part of the Falcons' team that got off to the best start in program history, with a 12-0 record to begin the season. The Falcons were ranked as high as #15 nationally that season.
“The most important thing I can do is support a culture for our players to be humble, great teammates, coach-able, and competitive.” Seidenburg said, “I believe that on-court success is a product of preparation, and it's my job to have our players be prepared, both physically and mentally.”
Seidenburg and his wife, Misty, reside in nearby Camp Hill with their daughter, Camryn, and son, Christyan.
