Mark has assembled an excellent team and has provided top-notched support to my civic event “Purcellville Townwide Tag Sale” for several years. Very much community focused, he and his team have been invaluable assets in publicizing, growing and finding innovative ways to incorporate technology and the web in running the event. They take on new challenges with enthusiasm and have always delivered outstanding results.
