He worked in the warehouse at National Furniture throughout high school and junior high. He tried sales in the 1980's. After 5 years he went into wholesale paper sales --- toilet paper mostly and he became the butt of everybody's jokes. He returned to National Furniture as manager/janitor in 1987. He still plows that field as owner.
Mark enjoys reading, gardening, astronomy, and especially restoring old cars. Oh, and MEF is his addiction.
