- How long have you known Mark?Going on 6 years
- Three words to describe Mark: Encouraging, Inspiring, Visionary
- If Mark created a nickname for you, what is it and where did it come from?
I'm not really sure. He might call me Tbone, simply because that's what often seems to roll out when nick names are formed for me.
- Funny memory with Mark:
Probably, our funniest memory together was at the Lake Tubing with Tom Elias at the wheel. Somehow I hit the wake at just the right time and was catapulted into the air. I heard from Greg, who I could see down in the boat, "Oh My!" After finally splashing back down into the water; noting that I had not actually broken my neck, we all relived the experience and since have re-told the story many times. During the same Lake trip and probably more funny than this was, Greg's adventurous leap from the 90 foot rock face with young high school boys indicating they would never jump from that rock because they were not "idiots".
- How has Mark impacted your life?
Huge! His friendship and encouragement has uplifted my spirit since the day we met!
