About the Author:
Marko Mikulich, is a Certified Medical Illustrator/Photographer. He graduated from Colorado State University, with a Bachelors Degree in Biological Science. Upon graduation he was selected to study Medical Illustration under the master illustrator, Thomas Harris at the University of California, San Francisco. Only 2 students were chosen for training. After graduating from UCSF, Marko worked for the Biomechanics & Orthopedic Surgery Dept. illustrating books.
Finally Marko started his own free-lance business, Medical & Scientific Illustrations Co. Much of his work was with attorneys litigating personal injury cases.
At 50 years old, he decided to get a Masters Degree in Instructional Technology from Utah State University. He really enjoyed the 3 years there. He is a couple credits shy of getting an Ed.S., the applied equivalent of a Ph.D.
He met his wife at Utah State University at the Graduate Computer Center that she managed. He intended to move back to the San Francisco area, but in the 3 years he was in Utah getting his degree, housing doubled in the Bay Area.
So they decided to look in Oregon. They wanted to buy a property outright. The couple found a 1 acre place in Drain. It had numerous apple & pear trees. They are still working on "The Place". The objective was to have no outstanding debt in future.
Marko said he retired, but he writes illustrated How-To Articles, and teaches 1-2 evenings a week at Lane Community College in Eugene OR.
Markos 1st book was Hydronic Heating Madness, a heating system that uses a car radiator, hotwater heater, pump & a fan. He uses the system in his and out in the studio.
