Mark is a technologist, a marketer, a writer, and a spoken word performer, to name but a few of his many passions. Mark is obsessed with doing great work. When his business partner, Bill Catchings, started Principled Technologies in 2003, they gave it a simple existence statement: to do great work for their clients, and to be a great place to work for our staff.
