childhood obsession has been a huge influence on him an adult.
In the fall of 2000 Mark called Mister Rogers' people every day
for a month until they agreed to let him come to Pittsburgh to
visit the closed to the public set of "Mister Rogers Neighborhood".
Amazingly four days later Fred Rogers announced
his retirement. In the summer of 2004, another childhood dream
came true when Mark worked as a writer on a new episode of Nickelodeon's
classic television show, "You Can't Do That on Television"
titled "Project 131". The episode was
filmed on the original show set at CJOH in Ottawa Ontario Canada.
