On Your Mark… Get Ready, Set Go! Happy Birthday Mark Kroese!

Today is his birthday, so I thought it was the perfect time to re-post the 425 Magazine portrait of a guy who knows about deforestation and the perfect climbing destination.

Happy Birthday, Mark!

On Your Mark…Get Ready, Set- Go!

When I was first introduced to Mark Kroese, we discovered we had several mutual friends in common. The words our connects used to describe him include intense, great guy, fascinating, super fit, disciplined, smart, nice, outgoing, handsome, oh and did I mention INTENSE?

Admittedly, I like to be on the go, but I soon found out that there are not enough adjectives or hours to compare my stamina to Mark’s tireless energy. A published author, 50 Favorite Climbs, a five year stint on the Martha Stewart show as her computer tech specialist, former Microsoft manager and Venture Capitalist, Mark is also an avid outdoors-man. Even in inclement weather, you can find him riding his bike across I-90, skiing, playing tennis, and if the weather is beyond intolerable, he might head to Seattle Vertical World, a climbing gym he co-owns. http://seattle.verticalworld.com/

Mark’s life appears to always be in the on your mark, get ready, set, go motion. He didn’t get the memo to slow down and as we Menopausebarbees know, when you get over the hill that is when you pick up speed! We are thrilled to share 425 Business Magazine’s portrait of the a man who it appears there “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” and who has found a way to see and save “The Forest and the Trees.”
