Meet Mark

Grandad Mark is a Cincinnati native. He spent 36 years as a Civil Engineer and is recently retired. He still tinkers in Civil Engineering but spends more time now with Do-It-Yourself chores around the house and the neighborhood, and planning projects for when his granddaughters visit. He lives by the motto, “You Can’t Tell Me What to Do, You’re not my Granddaughter!”

Mark found a love for puns when sharing weekly notes of encouragement with a friend who was going through cancer treatments. His niece and nephew have now heard all his best (or worst! lol) puns and he’s hoping now he can share them with someone else who might need an up-lifting chuckle in their day. Mark and his wife share their home with two indoor cats, three outdoor cats, and Louie, our lovable old pug. When Mark is out of the house one of his favorite hobbies is tennis. He took up the sport years ago as a way to spend more time with his own

Dad and they still share a court every…well okay, most…Sunday mornings. They have been lucky enough to play tennis by the beach, atop a windswept English plain, and under the California sun. Mark loves to travel, especially to his home away from home of England. He’s proud of his British heritage and recently obtained his dual citizenship.

Mark wants to hear from you. What’s on your mind? What’s troubling you? What’s for dinner?

Mark loves to sit down with pen and pad and share his time with you. He wants you to know that you matter and that you have interesting stories to share. He’s happy to share handyman tips, his lasagna recipe, or share his shoulder to lean on. And his niece begs you…please let him send YOU these terrible puns of his!
