Heyo! I'm Mark Essel a systems engineer of 13years gone web author/entrepreneur. My quest is to rediscover my life's passions, and leverage that drive into profitable business ventures.

Perhaps even more importantly I want to aid others in listening to their own inner muses and realizing an inspirational life path that invigorates them and their loved ones each day

I started my lens crafting life with The Profit Prophet. I have yet to discern how a philosophical jaunt on profit making became my me page, perhaps you'll discover why and let me know ;).

I just started building lenses but I think I've become an addict. I've written a few, and have ideas for a few more. I'm currently on a leave of absence from my day job, to spend some time rediscovering the things that I'm most passionate about. I've got this fantasy where I'm an owner of a few small businesses that pay the bills, but am part of this super network of people where I can really make a difference. Here's to hoping that dream comes to fruition!

What do I enjoy doing: anything that gets me thinking and excited. Athletics wise I'm a fan of super long walks, racquetball, & kayaking at the moment but I'll try anything out (hoping to add cross country skiing this year). Intellectually I find programming, design, analysis, and gaming lots of fun although I prefer gaming. I started with board games, rpgs, then moved on to console games and now World of Lifecraft (it can feel like a job sometimes).

My lens groups:
Kindle 2 HQ
eReaders HQ
Gurus of Greed
