From a CEO: "Mark, thank you for your honesty, candor and diligence. Your approach is refreshing compared to all the other service providers, and you delivered far more than I expected. I've already received several phone calls and have two job offers in the works - and it's only been two months since my mailing went out. Thank you!" GM

Mark's volunteer work (fundraising for charity)

Every Sunday evening for 5 years, Mark and his wife Cheryl taught east coast swing (aka jitterbug) dance classes in Las Vegas, NV to raise money for charity.

This video of their last dance class on June 8, 2008 will give you another perspective of Mark ... just in case you're curious. Mark and Cheryl moved back to their home in the Seattle area in late June 2008.
