Welcome to the home page of Mark Stevens. Professionally, I'm a passionate advocate for technology and its ability to connect people & foster collaboration. I specialize in networking technologies: data networks, VoIP and collaborative communication applications such as wikis, blogs, unified communications and other Enterprise 2.0 tools. I firmly believe that these are the resources that will drive productivity improvements in the workplace that will keep the US market competitive in a global economy.
I live in North Carolina with my wife and kids, and enjoy coaching my kids' soccer teams and outdoor cooking on my Weber kettle grill. As evidenced by this site, I'm also experimenting with various web technologies. Visit my "Gettin' My Geek On" blog for recent projects.
Note: This page is a strict implementation of xhtml using cascading style sheets (css), written using a text editor. It certainly isn't the fanciest page, but I think it demonstrates that I get the basics of xhtml and css. I could easily rat-hole myself working on the appearance of this page, but that isn't how I want to spend my time. There are other technologies I want to explore more. For those more interested in xhtml/css, here is a specific blog post about my experience creating this page.
Thanks for visiting. Feel free to drop me an email.
