Mark Smith

As a young boy, Mark always enjoyed reading, writing and the outdoors. His father took him on many fabulous outdoor adventures that just fueled his passion for nature. By the time he was 13 years old, he was swimming with dolphins, manatees and sharks. He became a certified scuba diver at this young age and spent his summers diving in the Florida Keys with his father and older brother. He has been places that most people only dream of.

His passion for nature did not stop as he got older. He continues to observe, study and respect nature to this day. If there is a turtle in the road, Mark is the guy that will stop in the middle of traffic to help the turtle cross the street.

Now Mark shares his passion for nature with his own family. His children have been a great influence and inspiration to him and his writing, and now he is sharing his adventures and knowledge with the world.

Mark presently resides in New Smyrna Beach Florida with his wife and two children.
