About Mark Merrick
You should trust who you are working with, so here is a little about me.
Experience
In previous lives I have been a database administrator, teacher, software developer, software development manger, director of project management (www.ceira.com), and webmaster (www.vanguard.edu). Formally, I have been working with technology, and particularly the internet, for eleven years. Fascinated by the blinking lights, I started writing code on a Commodore 64 when I was ten years old.
Technical/Artistic Passions
I hate it when can't find something on a website, so I am fascinated by User Navigation, Usability, and Design. But people have to find your site first. Enter Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Marketing. Also, I am never able to resist an opportunity to write some code.
Ethic
Somewhere between our work and play we find balance. Too much of either diminishes us. We need play to keep us artful and expressive. We need work to define our purpose and passions. Balance allows us to enjoy work, and enjoy working hard.
Though it may sound cliche', my word is my bond, and I enjoy turning out a good product as much as I enjoy spending my paycheck.
Hobbies
You can't run a company in the U.S. without playing a little golf, but I am also known to play baseball, basketball and tennis. My real passion though, is music. I have been playing guitar and singing for more than 25 years. Academically I enjoy dabbling in Psychology and Theology.
Roles at Trusted
I am one of three Trusted owners serving as the Chief Operations Officer.
