Hello, my name is Mark. As a long time resident of Northeast Tennessee I have enjoyed the beauty of living in  the Appalachian Mountains.  Being in the woods and on the trail can inspire a sense of wonder, bring renewal and provide connection with God and others.  It has certainly done that for me.  As John Muir once said, "Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt."

 

I currently work as a property manager, am married and am a parent and grandparent.  Formerly, I worked as a pastor and educator and have a ThM from Dallas Theological Seminary.
