and design studios. Those experiences include: sales, customer service, scheduling,
product/project development, marketing, organizing, advertising, and negotiating. Marc also has

here include: training, operations, coordinating, negotiating, scheduling, and public speaking.

and building. Ten years working as an assistant woodworker have developed his sense of
quality craftsmanship, attention to detail and the ability to work with his hands.

and broadens his artistic skills by enrolling in as many illustration seminars as he can.
