    About Me
    I am a native Texan, but over the past nine years, I have lived in Las Vegas, Denver, Philadelphia, Little Rock, Austin, Baton Rouge. I now live in the DFW area. Everyone calls me R.Mark (first initial R., middle name Mark, put it together and you have R. Mark. I am a corporate trainer.
    Why I joined
    I just moved to the DFW area after being away for 14 years. I have been involved in Meetin for past 5 years. I am one of the original founders of MeetinAustin. I was the leader of Austin for 2 years for stepping down. I joined to simply meet new friends.
    My Best MEETin event story ( please only fill in after you have been to an event )
    I think one of my favorites was going to the Benini Sculpture Ranch-although roller skating is really high on my list:)

    I just got to meet R.Mark this past weekend at Celebration and I'm so happy that I did! What a great guy and a great personality! Come back to Austin soon!

    <-( brittany says ;-)
    r. mark makes a great first impression... he was one of the first people i met at my first happy hour and we instantly chatted away like old friends... but first impressions is not all he has in him and our salsa dance after my second happy hour sealed the deal... r mark has a crazy, caring soul and you would be lucky to call him friend

    <-( tracy says ;-)
    I was so lucky R. Mark was at my first event because the moment I met him I felt comfortable and at home with him. He is so welcoming and has a wicked sense of humor. Get him on a rant about names on restroom doors and you will be laughing all night.

    <-( Gena says ;-)
    R.Mark is a down to earth guy and very outgoing, and is always up for meeting new people. If you need a smile just go visit with R.Mark or look at him smile, his smile alone will make you smile. I look fwd to getting to know you better my friend.

    <-( Glen says ;-)
    Simply put, R. Mark is THE MAN. He's really our Mark, as in "our Mark is better than yours. He could teach you, but he'd have to charge." It's hard for me to admit another guy is funnier than I am, but have you seen him dance to 80s Madonna? Priceless!

    <-( Kara says ;-)
    R. Mark is a huge part of what makes 'Meetin' a success. Not only all of the work he does behind the scenes, including helping us properly post events. But also the way he welcomes everyone, new and old members alike, into the group and makes you feel like part of the 'family'. His attitude makes you want to keep showing up for more.

    <-( Joella says ;-)
    R. Mark makes Austin rock. I agree with the other testimonials that he is a ball of laughs and fun. As an out towner from Dallas, R. Mark made sure I felt comfortable and welcome. I especially love his old school hip hop moves brought back memories of gowing up in Brooklyn, NYC. I think R. Mark should have his own comedy reality show. Forget Leslie or even Lance, I say R. Mark for Austin Mayor.

    <-( Alexandra says ;-)
    RMark is crazy-goofy! He's a load of fun, and makes everyone feel part of the action! And, oh boy can he dance!

    <-( Priscilla says ;-)
    R Mark is the best. You can always count on him for a good time, with lots of great stories. (Your Vegas story is still my favorite) He is one of the reasons Meetin Austin is so fun. He always makes everyone feel comfortable and wants to make sure they are all having a great time.

    <-( Jake says ;-)
    R Mark is the Moses that guides our tribes of Israel through the forests of discontented lives here in Austin...lol Thank god that he and the original founders came up with Meetin, or I would be suicidal here in Austin by now. He is the Glue, and is always positive and on top of our events. Thanks, you have been a real positive force for us all...

    <-( Kiran says ;-)
    Makes you feel part of the group - thanks RMark! Great organizational skills

    <-( John says ;-)
    RMark makes any event better. He is a very interesting guy with great stories and realy friendly attitude.

    <-( Cyril says ;-)
    We were late at the Meetin Convention 2 brunch for leaders but fortunately we had the pleasure to be seated at the same table than R. Mark and Z. I had a really good time talking with R. & Z as they are such really nice and welcome persons. People in Austin are really lucky to have him as a leader and hopefully we'll be able to meet again before the next convention. You're welcome anytime in Phoenix guys!

    <-( Cassy says ;-)
    Fantastic to meet R. Mark at the DC Convention - this guy is hilarious! Generous and fun, great company and excellent at saving gals from the unwelcome advances of gropey men at nightclubs (seriously, you're a star). Austin's a rockin' town, and surely all the more rockin' for having R.Mark in it :)

    <-( Sue says ;-)
    R. Mark is incredible, the man moves like nobody business and is as unstoppable as the energizer bunny!! It was so great meeting him at Convention '05, if you haven't met him yet, you are missing out!!

    <-( TracEy says ;-)
    R. Mark is the leader of Austin? What kinda show are you guys runnin down there!!!?!? NAHHH Just kidding! This guy cracks me up!!!! If only we could have fit Z and R.Mark in our suitcases, we would have brought them back with us! Join us in PHX anytime!

    <-( mIKEY says ;-)
    Great to finally get to meet the Mark Dog. We partied him so hard at the 05 DC convention it was not even funny. Man what a weekend ya. We have many more good times to come from all of this but thanks much for your hard work and effort you have put into Austin. You guys are really doing a great job down there. Keep it up and keep the party running in Austin.

    <-( Katie says ;-)
    It was great to meet you at the convention this past weekend. I'll have to come out to Austin and party it up with your group if they are anything like you! :-)

    <-( dave says ;-)

    <-( Zachira says ;-)
    You will be glad you met R. Mark if you are up for a good laugh. R. Mark will do anything for entertainment. He is someone you can count on. Once you meet R. Mark, you will never be the same again.
