Pursuing His Plant Passion: After working for three and a half years as a civil engineer, Mark realized that was not his passion, so he went back to college to study horticulture.

Working to Relax: After a hard day of working out in the gardens, Mark likes to work out. “a workout after work calms me down and transitions me to personal time.”
