Mark has been using Drupal since version 5 and joined the Drupal community in 2009. Starting as a general site-builder, he has managed and maintained multiple sites including ones for entire school districts, real estate agencies, photography and several high profile companies.

Over the years, his front-end focus of Drupal has expanded to include some back-end aspects of Drupal. Often referred to as a "unicorn", Mark bridges the gap between implementing beautiful front-end designs and enhancing back-end functionality.

He maintains several highly used contrib projects on drupal.org, including Drupal Bootstrap and Drupal Markdown.

Mark lives in Texas with his husband and dog. Some of their favorite activities include crafting, gaming, camping, hiking, and traveling.
