Scientist & Associates with his wife, Chris.
He is a Professional Wetland Scientist
(Society of Wetland Scientists) and
Certified Ecologist (Ecological Society of
America) with nearly 20 years of experience
in wetland science, field biology, ecology,
and environmental studies. Mark is certified
through Ohio EPA’s QDC program for Level 3
fish studies and habitat assessments for
biological monitoring of wadeable streams
and rivers. He has worked on projects in 25
states, but focuses his efforts on his home
