Mark's Story
Hmmmm ... well to wrap up 30 years in one paragraph:
After graduation I went on to architecture school. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign with my BS in 1982 and Master of Architecture in 1985. After college, I worked at a large international architectural firm: Skidmore, Owings & Merrill for many years. While working for SOM, I lived for a time in London, UK. I lived in a small mews house in South Kensington, on the northern edge of Chelsea, above the most wonderful Indian restaurant.
Upon returning to the states, I settled down in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood, around the corner from the Twin Anchors. A friend at SOM introduced me to my future wife, Marcia, and we dated for a long time, finally being married in 1996.

My wonderful wife, Marcia, is an operating room nurse, specializing in open-heart surgery at a VA Hospital helping our nation's soldiers and sailors. We have two energetic sons, in their early teens, ages 12 and 10. They are quite a handful at times, but we love them dearly. Some days it seems like having two Rock-em Sock-em Robots in the family! We also have a young naughty Golden Retriever, Molly.
