After graduation, on a dare from a family friend, he worked for a time in Bakersfield, California at a carrot packaging plant.Mark soon learned one of his first valuable life lessons. It was that people have more to offer than the work they perform. He learned how important it is to look past just the job description.In the fall of 1979, Mark began his college experience. In the spring of 1980, Mark and his best friend struck out to make their first million, starting a courier/office supply business in Denver, Colorado. Why not? The prospects of being business owner were way more exciting than being a college student.His second life lesson soon was revealed. It was this: there is no free lunch in life, and many of the people you meet do not subscribe to the philosophy of "my word is my bond." After working odd jobs, Mark was offered what became his career steppingstone. He became an apprentice electrician for his girlfriend's dad's electrical contracting company. Mark and his girlfriend became engaged and married on March 30, 1985. In 1988, their son was born; in 1990, their daughter was born.Mark and his wife have been married over 37 years. Mark retired as a Senior Electrical Inspector for the City of San Diego.*****Note: The following is the meaning of the acrostic graphic on the back cover.
