Protectors

Mark’s insatiable curiosity has driven him to biochemistry, college-athletics, medical school, triathlon, internal medicine, teaching, Ironman races, writing, skydiving, motorcycling, martial arts, and mountain climbing.

Some of his favorite fiction authors are J.R.R. Tolkien, Neal Stephenson, Tom Clancy, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, William Gibson, and Dan Simmons.

Mark is an avid cyclist and a lover of salmon. He currently lives in the Pacific Northwest where he and his wife, Jo, enjoy hiking, climbing, stand-up paddle boarding (when Mark can stay upright), photography, and quiet walks in nature.
