He has worked largely for CMA client The Center for Food Integrity, leading development of the Farmers Feed US communications platform.

Meet Mark

If you could have a room full of any one thing, what would it be?

Probably blue cheese. I love it as a snack, on burgers, salads, and even French fries. And I hear that as it ages, there are actually rooms full of the stuff, so it’s not that far-fetched.

What do you do to recharge your batteries?

I’m a beer guy. Whether visiting a local brewery, a beer tasting, or enjoying it from the fridge, I love drinking a well-brewed beer.

What are some of your favorite links on the web?

I’m a pretty heavy news and views consumer, visiting Wired.com, Slate.com, TheAtlantic.com, and NYTimes.com. To help keep me up to date in my beer hobby, I also spend time on BeerAdvocate.com.
