He graduated from Michigan State University in 1984 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. Mark s father introduced him to magic when Mark was eight-years-old. Mark practiced for many years and loved performing for his family. Mark became proficient enough to help pay his way through college. He acquired a job as a magician in 1984 at B Zar, a very popular nightclub, where he was discovered by a talent agent. He was then hired to perform at the Detroit Tigers 1984 Christmas party, the year they won the World Series. Mark was asked to perform at a cousin s birthday party in 1980, and he brought along some of his exotic pets. The rest, as they say, is history!

Mark decided to stop wholesaling to pet shops and entertain/educate full time when he saw too many stores selling exotic animals to anyone who could afford them, whether or not they knew what they were doing. This book is for animal lovers everywhere. Come take a journey back throughout Mark s life, as he relates some of his most memorable stories. He promises you will not only laugh, but shed a few tears as well.
