About Me
I’m an Albuquerque/Phoenix based entrepreneur (and former rock star) who has a gift for developing simple solutions to long standing problems. I’m effective by myself, but particularly dangerous when I have a team of motivated, capable agents. I’m on a quest to restore competancy and excellence to the heart of the American Dream.
As the recipient of an English Literature degree from Arizona State University, I’ve had my fair share of odd jobs after college. I’ve worked at coffee shops, opened web design firms, and managed people twice my age. My path has left me with a healthy appreciation for the work I do now and a strong set of business skills in key areas:
- Employee Recruitment and Retention
- Small Business Marketing
- Social Media Networking
- System Design and Training
- Quickbooks Accounting and Budgeting
- Website Design
Currently I serve as the Executive Director/CEO of Omniac Education, a private education firm specializing in Academic Tutoring, College Consulting, and Test Preparation. Each year we help thousands of students apply to the schools of their dreams through our innovative programs.  We primarily focus on students living in Arizona and New Mexico, but often use the internet to reach out to other parts of the globe.
While spending all day with teenagers can be…interesting, I love my job and cherish the fact that I face new challenges everyday. Since founding Omniac in 2007, I’ve enjoyed the wild ride of small business ownership and look forward to the future as we continue to build our materials, staff, and client base.
On a more personal note, I’m married to the most beautiful girl in the world who pleasantly reminds me that I can’t do everything at one time without the occasional nap. Together with our pet hamsters, we spend our time reading young adult literature, watching Lost, finding the best way to eat green chile, and wondering why people would want to hike.
I’m always excited to meet new people, so please feel free to follow me on Twitter, friend me on Facebook, link me on Linkedin, or subscribe to my blog. I even answer email!
Keep on rocking,
- Mark
