As a proud son of Cleveland, Ohio and its sports teams, Mark is a perennial optimist (and knows that WTNY means Waiting Till Next Year.) Now thoroughly immersed in all things Spenardian - Mark lives, works and “plays well with others” in Spenard as one of the co-founders of the Spenard Farmers Market, the Spenard Chamber of Commerce and the Fish Creek Festival. His biggest smiles are reserved for when Eagle Scout Mark hops off the Alaska Railroad Flagstop train at Canyon with the woman of his life and walks, skis, or snowshoes to his cabin.
