> Mark has been on the leading edge of software development for more 
> than twenty years. As a co-founder of Wavefront Technologies, Mark and 
> his team developed software that completely revolutionized the way the 
> world is entertained. He co-designed Wavefront's flagship product, 
> Advanced Visualizer, which was the first commercial 3D modeling and 
> animation system.
>
> Working directly with major Hollywood studios, the company introduced 
> the world to computer-generated animation and received many accolades 
> - including an Oscar for Technical Achievement. Mark was instrumental 
> in growing Wavefront over ten years to a $45 million company.
>
> As the liaison between Fortune 500 clients and Wavefront software 
> developers, Mark shared with non-technologists the possibilities of a 
> new breed of software and worked with developers to make clients' 
> dreams come true. Beyond helping design products that were tailored 
> for the entertainment industry, Wavefront's technologies 
> revolutionized the design and video game industries as well.
