Company ZepFrog Corp., NYC


Software developer. Writer. Geek.

He eats rails for breakfast and codes on a black MacBook. He’s likely cooler than you (hyperbole, just for effect), but very modest.

Sidenote: Mark created .NET applications for secret Government projects now buried deep underground (where they belong). He doesn’t like to talk about that dark spot in his past.

More Buzz, Less Caffeine

He is currently writing a book (get in line for this one now!), contracted by a national publisher. He writes articles for magazines and occasionally blogs, to little fanfare. Mark likes to spend his spare time, what little he has nowadays, reading authors like Fred Alan Wolf, Brian Greene, and Tom Robbins—and is still in shock that he will soon share shelf-space at Barnes and Noble with the likes of those cats.

He lives in a quiet neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York in a home decorated with Pop Art (Keith Haring is one of his favorite painters) and golden Buddhas.
