Welcome to Mark's Page!

Wow, I get my own web page at last! Here you'll find a short bio, my "professional" site, and, a gallery of my photography and digital images! So, I'm the keyboard player for this ragtag bunch of musical prodigies. I've played with Milo and Grant since, well, forever. We actually go back to around 1973 and probably earlier, playing in high school bands in Wisconsin Rapids. After losing touch for several years in college and as we settled in to our "professional" careers, the infamous McNasty's jams did indeed bring us together. After ten years of teaching elementary art, I decided it was time to do something for me or I'd regret it forever, and soon the Lizards were born. I am a confirmed equipment junkie, and have a hard time passing up a good deal on a keyboard. My current collection includes: a Roland Fantom 88S, a Roland A-30 controller keyboard, a Hammond XP2, a Marotta 12-button bass accordion, a new Melodica, two vintage Wulitzer 200 electric pianos, a Wurlitzer accordion, and my pride and joy, a MotionSound Pro3D amp. My performance rig is the Hammond, Fantom, Marotta, melodica, and the MotionSound. Still way too many chords to plug in, but you can't beat the sound!

I currently teach high school photography, graphic design, and digital imaging, and am going on 25 years in the profession. The band is the best therapy I know, and is still a lot cheaper than a shrink! You can find my school home page here (if you're curious...). I primarily do pinhole photography with a cardboard oatmeal box, and traditional nature photography with my traditional 35mm cameras. I have some digital work too, but most of that is graphic work for the band - posters and such. Check out my gallery of recent digital work!
