Mars began his professional career as a partner at White Owl Capital in 2007, the same year that he obtained his MBA.
He also co-founded Windstream Energy, Inc. in the same year.
Windstream is heavily involved in the commercial wind power industry, and owns wind farms across Canada and parts of the US.
Mars later diversified into new fields.
In 2009, he became a director at OfficeDrop, a company operating out of the Greater Boston Area, and a year later became a director at Global Potential.
This not-for-profit company, based in New York City, is primarily concerned with empowering youths via international service work, cultural exchanges, and direct education.
Mars continued to branch out into areas in which he previously had not had any experience.
In 2013, he became a director at Mass Appeal, a media and content company that reputedly acts as “a lens into the global urban landscape.”
The company claims to profile the increasingly interconnected mediums of music, art, and fashion.
In 2016, Mars became a director at Vesta Corporation. This Portland, Oregon, company works in the field of offering payment solutions in the financial, media, and telecommunications industries.

Wife
David Mars was previously married before beginning his relationship with Patina Miller; the marriage ended in divorce, but it is not known when or to whom he was married.
In 2010, he met his future wife, Patina Miller, via an online dating website.
The two struck up a friendship and later went on to meet, and their relationship became a romantic one.
Mars remembered thinking that his future wife must have been a ‘rock star’ due to her flamboyant sense of fashion.
Miller, a renowned Broadway and West End actress, is well-known in the theater world and is well-regarded for her breakout role as Deloris Van Cartier in the highly successful stage adaptation of the hit Whoopie Goldberg comedy, Sister Act. She is consequently something of a minor celebrity.
This is in stark contrast to Mars, who prefers to maintain a low profile and about whom there is relatively little public knowledge.
Mars and Miller were married in June 2014 at the Foundry in Long Island, New York.
The ceremony was reportedly a “star-studded affair,” with many Broadway alumni attending.
The ceremony was officiated by Patina Miller’s mother, who is a Baptist minister.
