Since his accident in 1977, Mark has received an Undergraduate and Master's Degree in computer science, worked as a Senior Programmer Analyst for almost 20 years, bought a house, started several bands in which he played harmonica, and also wrote the motor control software for a sip-&-puff wheelchair that he is currently using.

This website contains information on how Mark maintains his health, the status of his new wheelchair motor controller project, how Mark controls his environment, and his music.
