The Beginning:

I didn’t have the most ideal upbringing. My early childhood consisted of living on the street with my mother and 5 other siblings. My mother didn’t have the best life for us but she was also dealt a bad hand herself. I was taken from her and placed in the foster care system at 4 years old. I was placed in a foster home with 2 of the most amazing people in my life, Mama and Daddy White. I still remember that first meal my 2 younger brothers, sister, and I had; Hot dogs with juice and cookies.

To be quite honest, while I was growing up I never knew how disadvantaged I was. I mean that was just life for me and I didn’t know any different. I did have an incredible God-given ability. This was a high degree of self-efficacy. It was so high, it’s actually what my foster mother told the newspaper about me when they ran an article on us:

Mark loves to read, and has a healthy self image that helps him approach most tasks. “He thinks he’s No. 1,” says Ann, ” He thinks he can do anything.”

Fast forward, I ended up graduating College with degrees in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics at the University of Houston. This is where my programming foundation started. After college, I got a job in the Oil and Gas field as an Electrical Engineer and I decided to build up a web design business on the side since it required little to no money and all knowledge.

In these days Joomla was very popular. I would build some of the most amazing looking websites with amazing functionality on Joomla
