Mark is in his 11th year in education and his eighth year as a librarian. Currently, he is the Outreach and Instruction Librarian at Cornette Library, West Texas A&M University. Before coming to Cornette Library, he was a librarian for the Amarillo public library, and before that, he taught English Language Arts to 6th graders at Travis Middle School in Amarillo ISD. Before becoming a teacher, Mark walked the very odd road of someone who didn’t know what they wanted to do when they grew up, which means he’s built up a ton of stories, everything from becoming an Eagle Scout to being a forklift driver, to share with anyone who’s interested. It also means he’s picked up a bunch of odd habits. He enjoys a little bit of everything, including: collecting high-end fountain pens, cycling, powerlifting, writing, video gaming, and playing with his two daughters, both of whom have him wrapped securely around their little fingers. Mark loves bringing his unique perspective to bear on the many challenges facing librarians and librarianship. He doesn’t view himself as your average librarian, but that’s ok because we aren’t living in average times. |
