Welcome to Mark In The Park 21!

I'm so glad you found me.

I created Mark In The Park 21 shortly after I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in February 2021. I was searching

for information online and I found an entire community.

I have also found great purpose in Parkinson's Awareness and Advocacy and public speaking. I have partnered with the Parkinson's Foundation, and I currently serve on the Parkinson's Foundation People with Parkinson's Advisory Council (PPAC), which serves as a guiding influence for the Parkinson's Foundation leadership for decision making.

I also serve as an Ambassador for the Parkinson's Foundation as well as serve on the Advisory Board for the

Southwest Chapter. I am the Co-Chair of the Southwest Chapter Mission and Outreach committee until June 2024,

when I will assume the role of Chairman for 2 years.  

I can be heard on the podcasts I co-host, “Making It Meaningful – The Podcast” as well as

“Unscripted – The Parkinson’s Podcast”. 

I have also been a guest on several other podcasts such as "The Two Mike’s Parkinson’s Podcast" (now the YOPN podcast}, “Parky For Parkinson’s” podcast, “Lessons from the Junk Drawer” as well as several others. 

I have also done Instagram and TikTok Lives with professionals across the Parkinson's community. I created this space

as a sort of "home base" for the various projects I'm involved in and as a way to connect with me or

to book me for speaking engagements.

Thank you for visiting. 

I'm really glad you're here.
