Mark's Story
Life
My Kids
Tim (44) was born while I was in high school and Matt 39 was born while I was in the Marine Corps.
My Job - Retired from Supervisor at the USPS for 26 years, and 12 years in the USMC.
School
I really didn't socialize with a lot of people. I pretty much tried to stick to myself. I was previously married 20 years, divorced in 2000. I remarried in 2007 to Kristen. We've been married for 15 long years. I was previously married to Sheryl Ford, 1978 graduate of Parkside, and we still remain good friends. I started a family in the 10th grade, and raised two kids while serving in the USMC for 12 years. I went to the 10 year and the 20 year class reunions but I really don't know why. I have always felt kinda distant from everyone else in High School, although I can be very social, I still like to keep to myself. I guess I wish I could have been more involved with school activities, which may have encouraged me to go to college sooner than I did. High School is like anything else, it helps you grow, and I have done fine.
College
Only went to JCC to study Law Enforcement. I was active duty the entire time and didn't finish my degree due to a back injury...Expand for more
, of which I was discharged from the USMC with a disability. Actually, I am glad I didn't follow my dream of law enforcement since what I am doing now, is far better.
Workplace
Although I have to deal with personality conflicts between employees, I still enjoy my job. We do great work and at the end of the day, I think everyone feels that we have accomplished our daily goals. Even the stressful environment doesn't get me down, since I am somewhat in charge. I do my very best to not just be a leader, but a team player as well. Those people doing the actual work do an outstanding job and I'm proud to say, are at the top of their game.
