About
I am the type of person you have an intense conversation with over the state of the world, similarities of ideologies, philosophy, and ways of dealing with issues people face in life. Leading you to say, "wow Mark is one of the most mature people to ever get his adult on... "
Then 30 minutes later you walk in on me watching cartoons wearing a onesie with a batman cape while I eat a giant bowl of cereal with a spoon meant for cooking, causing you to question all previous conversations we have ever had.
Passion, Happiness, and Expression. Those are words I think best define me. I am passionate about everything I do, because I am passionate about learning and every situation and encounter is a learning moment. My goal in life is to be happy and its been a success so far, so I always help people find what makes them happy and help them find a career based on that. All forms of expression: dance, song, art, poetry, conversation, and so many other things. I want to learn them, share them and always be able to express myself.
University of Houston Masters of Science Industrial Design student working on my thesis, with a B.A. in Art History from Baylor and four years as a Combat Engineer with the U.S. Army.
