Mark's Story
I am the owner of "Summersville Lake Marina, Inc." and Long Point Scuba, Inc. dba "Sarge's Dive Shop" with my brother, Eric Allen, which are located on Summersville Lake, Summersville, WV. I am a certified NAUI and SDI Scuba Instructor. I am also a certified ERDI Scuba Instructor and ERDI Instructor Trainer. I am an officer of our dive team which responds to water-related emergencies and drownings in our local lakes and rivers.
I do a lot of landscape and nature photography. I also teach Photoshop to college
students/adults from time to time. I taught life science, biology, astronomy, physics, physical science, and human anatomy & physiology for the Fayette County Board of Ed. and the New River Community & Technical College in Summersville, WV.
I was awarded the "Presidential Award for Excellence In Science Teaching" by President Ronald Reagan in 1987; and, I was awarded the "1990 Ashland Oil Teacher Achievement Award" by W.V. Governor Gaston Caperton.
My interests today are escatology, apologetics, photography, diving, and astrophotography. I have written several papers on biblical prophecy which I have made available to anyone that requests them.
I have a smart and beautiful daughter, a son-in-law, ...Expand for more

I attended Potomac State College for 2 years (1971-1973). Then, I transferred to Fairmont State College in 1973. I graduated from Fairmont State College in 1976 with a B.A. degree in biology.
God punished me and I ended up teaching science for the Fayette County school system. I then earned a "Masters of Science" degree in 1984 from the University of Charleston, in Charleston, WV.
I escaped from public school teaching in January of 2009 and now own and operate the above mentioned two businesses. I am also an adjunct professor of Science for the New River Community and Technical College in Summersville, WV. I taught intro physics, earth science, black-n-white photography, and photoshop. As of this update, I am married and have 1 daughter, Elizabeth, age 25. I am not aware of ever having any other children!
