Recently, The San Francisco Business Times presented Mark with a "Bay Area's

Most Admired CEO Award." Fast Company has recognized him in its "Who's Next"

column, and TechShop received the EXPY Award, given to the "experience stager of

the year."

TechShop, a do-it-yourself workshop and fabrication studio with six locations

open and hundreds more planned over the next decade, is the largest public

access tools and computer enabled manufacturing platform in the world. Through

TechShop, Mark is focused on radically democratizing access to the tools of

innovation by providing the lowest cost access to tools the world has ever

seen. TechShop is poised to help reshape how the world does innovation and

manufacturing and has already begun to have a significant impact on the economic

development opportunities in the communities where it is built.

Mark recently authored The

Maker Movement Manifesto: Rules for Innovation in the New World of Crafters,

Hackers, and Tinkerers to capture his learnings and I do not believe you

will be disappointed in the book or the podcast.
