In October 2001, two marriage
therapists, Dr. Mark Rodney Lohman (Virginia Practicing license
number 701000543) and Mary Rainer Skala, borrowed $500,000 from
Lohman’s wife.
The purpose of the loan, Mrs. Lohman has a
copy of the loan agreement, was to underwrite a business. Lohman and Rainer
Skala pocket the money and told Mrs. Lohman that the company she was funding
went bankrupt and her money was gone.
Rainer -Skala and Lohman purchased a
condo with the money and invested some in the company which sold in 2012 for
about $40 million. Rainer -Skala/Lohman’s cut was $5 million gross.
In the mid 1990s, Mary Rainer Skala
(Then Mary Smith) and her husband, Glenn Smith, then of Burke Virginia, (6900
Courageous Circle) were having marital problems and saw marriage therapist, Dr.
Mark Rodney Lohman, (540-341-2856) at his office in Fairfax County. Mary Smith and
Lohman, who was also married, immediately began an affair which eventually
culminated in their marriage.
(Lohman AKA on various loans and
credit cards: Mark Lowman, M R Lohman,
Mark R Lohmon and Mark Loman)
Lohman convinced Glenn Smith, who is
blind and currently lives in Fairfax County, that his blindness, combined with
Lohman sales abilities, could create a profitable assistive technology company.
In 1997 Rainer Skala, her husband
Glenn Smith (7820 Baltusrol Blvd. Suite 230, Gainesville) and Lohman,
opened Bartimaeus Group in McLean, Virginia where the Lohman’s lived.
After the company became operation
from government contracts, Rainer Skala divorced Glenn Smith in 2003. Glenn
Smith learned in 2025 that Lohman and Mary Rainer Skala were involved
Rainer Skala and Lohman co-singed a
loan for $500,000 from Lohman’s wife, Lila Lohman. (Rainer -Skala singed for
$300,000, Lohman for $200,000) They pocketed the bulk of the money.
They bought two new Lexus’s with
matching license plates and, in July 25, 2003, a condo in Mclean at1489
Chain Bridge Road in McLean.
At least a portion of the down payment
money to purchase the McLean Condo came from the loan intended for Bartimaeus
Group. Rainer-Skala and Lohman paid $306,755 for the condo and carried a
mortgage of $245,404.00
Rainer-Skala refinanced the condo in
2005 and finally sold the unit in 2015 for $375,000.00 (#0294-12090202)
Loman filed for
Chapter 7 protection in Virginia state court (#case 0610252) and was granted
protection on January 29, 2007. To be clear, this personal bankruptcy had
nothing to do with the $500,000 loan to he and Rainer Skala.
The loan, the real estate, the cars,
the living arrangements, are all a matter of public record.
Lohman then moved in with
Rainer-Skala, who, by this time, was also practicing marriage therapy with
Lohman, from Bartimaeus’s office.( VCU MSW program 1992-1994)
Since Lohman’s wife assumed the
company had gone belly up, in 2002, they changed the company name to Bart
Group and moved to a different building in the same complex. (From 1481
Chain Bridge Road in McLean to 1489 Chain Bridge Road in McLean)
Unknown to his wife, Lohman lived,
part time, in the McLean Condo for several years and then followed his
wife, who was mothering his two daughters as her own, and in 2010 began
another therapy practice in Warrenton (54 East Lee Street)
Lohman’s wife, who is now 90 and
lives in Charlottesville Virginia, wasn’t aware that Bartimaeus Group became
Level Access in 2017 after an investment of $40 million from JMI Equity or that
it later merged with other tech companies in 2022.
The company remains in Tysons Corner
under the name Level Access.
Rainer-Skala’s cut from the merger was
about $5,000,000.00 ,gross, and she cleared another hundred and fifty grand
from the sale of the McLean condo. She is no longer associated with Level
Access.
Lohman and Rainer Skala married and
now reside in West Virginia (309 Tinsley Circle in Shepherdstown) worth
about $1.1 million. They have an additional $1.1 million with a money manager
located in Des Moines, Iowa.
The two intend to move back to the
Charlottesville area and open a marriage therapy retreat center in partnership
with the Well Marriage Center, a nationwide firm.
