Mark's Projects
Hello. I'm an inventor and businessman. Grew up in California and moved to Georgia with parents at age 15. They moved back to California two years later. I stayed in Atlanta.
Basically, I invent something or get an idea and then start a company. Some make it, some don't .
Love creating, building, and fixing things.
