I like rain, clouds and snow days. I like old 16mm movies and educational films. My most "famous" quirk is that I'm "quiet." But get me warmed up on a topic I'm passionate about and I could talk a blue streak. Some may know me as Marki, owner of www.netsparrow.com and one of the oldest and largest discussion lists for introverts on the internet -- where introversion is not the same as shyness and introverted list members "talk" a blue streak, too!

Being an editor, which puts me in touch with so many interesting and wonderful people. The "small" stuff, a link here, a clarification there, extra attention to spelling and style. Working behind the scenes since 1999, I've seen CoachVille's Top 10s grow from text version to HTML, from a few subscribers to over 10,000. But what I love most is that, through my work, coaches and subscribers find each other, inspire each other and learn.
