Person
Mark graduated from Indiana University with an undergraduate degree in chemistry and from the Ohio State University with an MBA in finance. Working in the field of accounting for many years led him to a pursuit apparently as far from that path as possible: creative writing. After the birth of his children, Mark decided he wanted to write a book that he could read to them at bedtime. As a child, Mark would browse through a very large dictionary that he had been gifted and check off all of the words that he had looked up. From those two arcs arose The Story of Lex (Lexicon).
