Many of you have known dad through the various stages of his life. We wanted to allow you to see the full depth of Mark as a family man, enginer, draftsman, adventurer, 'big teddy bear', realtor, but mostly loving father and grandfather.

Here are some of our favorite family protraits throughout the years:
