Hi, I’m that guy Mark. I’m just a regular guy living with an attitude of gratitude, and this is my “fun” blog.
My interests are varied. I’m not exactly a polymath cuz I’m not that smart. I’m no da Vinci. But I do consider myself a multipotentialite, probably closer to the simultaneous end of the spectrum that the sequential end. I guess you could say that I never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up, because I have many varied interests. This site is my attempt to embrace them all.
I am thankful to have the experience of teaching math in a small rural high school. As a result, I get to teach multiple subjects like Calculus, PreCalculus, Statistics, and Personal Finance, all in the same day! Teacher guy Mark has become accustomed to switching gears. Also, check out my first ever web site, Planet Numeracy.™
And with four daughters (each with their own areas of interest), family guy Mark is also fortunate to be a fan (if not quasi-expert) in volleyball, basketball, swimming, cheerleading, and track & field. (I was actually Varsity swim coach 7 years.)
Whichever hat I’m wearing on any given day at any given hour — Teacher guy Mark… Blogger guy Mark… Writer guy Mark… Money guy Mark… Fitness guy Mark… Roadster guy Mark… — I count myself as fortunate to be alive in America with the freedom to pursue any and all of these interests. I am living the creative portfolio life.
Something interesting tidbits about me… I love “old school” cartoons like Bullwinkle, Bugs Bunny and Tom & Jerry. My dream job would be as a mythical investigator on Ancient Aliens. I enjoy craft beer and dry white wine. And I play poker whenever I can.
