People saying nice stuff in a few different contexts. Hopefully the diversity can help you see that this Adversity Answered thing is more than just another business venture; it's an all-encompassing self-taught path and way of living that has been pursued for many years
"Working with Mark as a support worker taught me the true meaning of supporting people - not the day to day basics of personal care - but supporting a person with life goals and seeing him conquer them all. Defeating all odds by his own will, determination and getting on with it to get the job done.
He shows us that once you set your mind to what you want you can have it too."
Rebecca
"the very most straight forward and honest person I know. Aware and awake in all that life throws him.... none of which has been easy. Challenges himself to always do better within the hugeness of his life. Is an encourager, is a listener, is loyal, is inspirational."
Jeanne
"The one story I share about in order to let those who are going through their darkest times know that there's always a way. And to remind me that there's always a way. Never give up, and even if you do, you rise after you fall over and over again."
Nadine
"Struck down so young and trapped in a body so alien to him, yet every day Mark strives to be happy, to learn, to teach and to share how someone's life can change so quick and unexpectedly.Mark is an inspiration to all."
Cathy
I’ve never met Mark but it’s as though I’ve known him all my life. His honest, open, funny, pissed of way of engaging the readers is amazing. He has opened my eyes to the world of disability, from a very raw place. It’s ironic that Mark is the disabled one but emotionally he’s years ahead of most people.
Gillian
"an intelligent and articulate individual, that is discerning in his observations of life and the challenges he faces daily as a quadriplegic. His quirky humour and honesty make for interesting and at times very poignant reading."
Deb
"What l love about Mark is his determination to educate people through the eyes of disability and his voice sharing his message via platforms to inspire others."
Mary
"I’m always moved by your heart and soul in all that you write. Purpose is an interesting subject, some, especially the able-bodied may think it lies in doing something or having a profession. You are a human being and are being the most real and the deepest well of humanity I know. How many are inspired by you, humbled by you, intrigued by you, and even empowered by the story of your life."
Bernadette
"I read Mark's stuff because I love seeing the world through another set of eyes. Seeing the world through Mark, is sometimes painful, but mostly humorous and interesting. His insight is twenty-twenty and it is a privilege to read his audacious thoughts!"
Jill
"He has a huge heart and is a compassionate man. He sets out to do what he can to help others regardless of what we call disability. His mind has endless possibilities and he goes for it with total hunger and raw determination. His humor is sassy and cuts into truth with razor sharp wit."
Donna
"No beating around the bush with Mark. Not a bullshit person honest as they get."
Anne
"Mark is an outstanding advocate. I never cease to be amazed as to how articulate he is. His existence every day re-assures me that we are a kind society. He's a shining beacon."
Bron
"The guy who tells it like it is... no sugar coated "journey" from Mark. All the details, all the sadness, missed opportunities and to be honest, a tragic life, but Mark manages to entertain us, make us laugh, and best of all make us appreciate the little things we take for granted."

"You don't come across many people who handle such a shitty situation with such grace, humor, and positivity... but not toxic positivity... he's authentic and honest about his struggles.
