Sixteen years ago, we sat in conference rooms and traveled the country, accelerating the rollout of broadband internet with the rest of the BroadJump team. Then he and Ana inspired me with their courage and sense of adventure taking a "mini-retirement" and traveling the world. As I started my own travel adventures, Mark was almost always part of the crew welcoming me home and bidding me farewell at Wink Wine Bar. Eight years ago, when I was adapting to being a new mom, Mark and Ana took me under their wing and Petra and I spent many happy weekends playing in their yard and in their pool. Alex was Petra's first kiss when she was about 8 months old. I wish I had told Mark how much I appreciated his presence and perspective through that period. I wish I had told him how much his adventurous spirit influenced and inspired me. I hope wherever his spirit has settled that he knows it anyway and that he has found peace. Godspeed my friend. The world is poorer for your too early loss.
