  • How long have you known Mark?20+ years
  • Three words to describe Mark: Selfless, joyful, humble
  • If Mark created a nickname for you, what is it and where did it come from?

    Obashaba. Like most of Mark’s nicknames I’m not sure where this came from but Mark had a way of owning even the dumbest of his creations that it seemed cool. One of his greatest traits as far as I’m concerned but I couldn’t figure how to packake that in one word.

  • Funny memory with Mark:

    Too many to recall. Him bailing me out with the cops after club because I was transporting 20 freshman to Burger King. I’m sure he failed to mention that I was only doing (albeit more zealously than safely) what he taught me to do. Club run-ons, campaigner lessons, obstacle courses, the Whale, barefoot skiing, Niagara Falls, work weeks at Saranac, meetings in the war room, moving him to CT, trips to New York City. All unforgettable

  • How has Mark impacted your life?

    I live each day of my life connected to my father and deepening my commitment to love and love others. Not sure you can impact another person’s life more than that.

  • What do you think Mark’s legacy will be? What is his lasting imprint on the world?

    You already asked that question. Mark’s legacy will always be changed lives, starting with mine.

  • Anything else you’d like to say to wish Mark Happy 50th Birthday!

    Love you. I hope you’re enjoying life. Happy birthday!
