“In my last position at Merion Matters, Mark and I were colleagues for over a decade. We worked side by side on many projects – including print catalogs, retail emails, website redesign and other miscellaneous collateral marketing materials. He’s not afraid to try new things and is always willing to go the extra mile for a project or colleague. Mark is hard-working, tenacious and works great in a team environment. He would be an asset to any company.”
