Bio
Nicolas Yale
Mark Harris is a good man, he served his country. ….but he does not think that is enough. He want's to serve his community in a deeper way. Mark has spent his life after serving his country focused on making young lives matter. He understands both the needs of the young learning community in our K-12, but also what it takes to move from HS to top paying jobs in technical and professional careers in our society. Mark has honor, Mark has passion for all who want more for themselves and their families. I am impressed with his passion, and also his goals to make a better life for those who want to improve their positions in life no matter where they start. Seldom do you find someone who is truly selfless, that does not mean "not wanting to improve themselves", but someone who thrives like I do to see/make others thrive. Mark is that person.

Every so often the impossible becomes Possible. While under the leadership of this brilliant, talented man, I discovered how to be unique in an environment that forces Conformity. The Lessons Learned from whatever is taught by the guy wearing four stars at Paris Island can't hold a candle to the unique experiences that a GENIUS such as Mark can bestow on the Honorable individuals that have the pleasure to share in his company, even for just a simple minute or two. His Philanthropy is different from most as with many innovators, the proof is in the pudding. The secret ingredient- a legacy of Thousands of unknowns that are now Somebody's. Military, Government, Industrial, Educational and Entertainment based Entrepreneurs should put it on their bucket list to meet Mark. 👍🏼👍🏼
