Mark grew up in Minnesota and his favorite 4-H project as a kid was entomology. Since then he has been a teacher, hiking and paddling guide, and educational program developer for several organizations. He is currently the Program Coordinator for Tualatin Riverkeepers and also volunteers for the Johnson Creek Watershed Council and is a North Clackamas Urban Watershed Council board member. His other interests include nordic skiing, traditional archery, and paleo-archaeology. A constant through all of this has been a love of insects that has grown into passionate advocacy for our native pollinators.
