Mark and Wendy

I am here for Friends

About Me

A little about each of us:
Mark, born in Bridgeport, CT, grew up all over the Eastern US, but spent his HS years in Charlotte, NC attending South Mecklenburg High School. After floating around a bit, he joined the US Air Force in 1991 and was stationed at the Pentagon in Wash DC doing mainframe computer support. In 1997 he ended his tour and took a job with Verizon (at that time Bell Atlantic) also doing mainframe computer support.
Wendy was born at Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas. She went to HS at Wayne Country Day School in Goldsboro, NC. She then attended and graduated from NC State School of Design, and took a job at the Patuxent River Naval Air Warfare Center in Maryland as a Public Works Architect Civil Servant.
Through the wonder that is the internet, Mark and Wendy discovered each other and and met in February of 2002. We have been happily married since April of 2004...which is also when we got married...(that old gag!)
We're now living in Charlotte, NC, and have been since August of 2005.
We both love videogaming and German-Style boardgaming. We're active on Xbox LIVE. Mark's gamertag is Geese and Wendy's is Full Cry. Wendy also loves to ride horses, which she does on a regular basis.
We have 2 dogs, Opie (Fiest, left) and Oscar (Jack Russell, right).

We also have 3 Thoroughbred horses named Ragtime, Dylan and Pepi.
We attend Good Shepherd United Methodist Church in Charlotte, NC and both proclaim Jesus Christ was literally crucified, literally buried, and literally resurrected on the 3rd day. He is our personal savior!
We both train in Mixed Martial Arts at Leadership Martial Arts, in Charlotte, NC. Mark enjoys the grappling aspect of MMA the most.

My Interests
