About Mark

I moved to Flagstaff Arizona after much prayerful deliberation - I wanted a place near the great outdoors. 

In 1997 I opened my construction business in Flagstaff: Highwood Construction. 

I am also a photographer and videographer - having studied electronic media, film and photography at NAU and the Hebrew University in Israel.

I have served as adjunct faculty at Indian Bible College, teaching Old Testament Narrative Books and Intro to Biblical Hebrew.

On June 2002, my travels to Israel landed me in the midst of a muslim terrorist attack.  More here

I have cohosted the Jeff Oravats Show on 97.1 FM (conservative talk radio)

I host the weekly Podcast: The Ringleaders - a conservative alternative to Nationally funded Public Radio
