Mark's Story
Enjoyed a great career in the Information Technology (IT) field after receiving a BS degree in Computer Science from SUNY Brockport in 1983. Four years after college, got married in the Rochester, NY area. Have a great wife and four wonderful kids.
Moved to Los Angeles in 1987. Enjoyed life in sunny Southern California for 29 years.
During that time, progressed to various IT management positions. Decided to pursue a MBA degree in 2000 after seeing the trend of companies outsourcing and offshoring their IT application development. In 2005, transferred from a Director of IT role to a Director of a business unit.
In 2016, the company where I worked (Farmers Insurance) asked if I would transfer from Los Angeles to Grand Rapids, Michigan. Decided to ...Expand for more
pursue that move. Now live a 7 hour drive away from the family in the Buffalo area.
Truly enjoy Grand Rapids. Of course, had to get used to driving in the snow again ..but definitely enjoy having much more house & property vs, what we had in LA, The lower cost of living and not having to deal with 5-6 lanes of bumper-to-bumper freeway traffic was an easy adjustment.
The big news,,. as of January 1, 2021, decided to accept an early retirement package from the company and since then have been living the retiree life. To fill the time in retirement, have gotten more involved at church.. serving as a deacon, assisting with financial accounting tasks and managing the church's website.
