Mark has been consciously engaged in spiritual discovery from a very young age. The intersection between spirit and body led him along a varied career path that still continues to veer wildly in response to both inner and outer stimuli. He has worked in many fields, from a stint in the Army as a Gulf War vet to over 15 years serving inquiring minds as a lecturer in physical and human geography. Family bolsters all worldly experience, and his three children remain his overriding concern, his joy, and his pride.
