Mark Oestreicher is the president of Youth Specialties. If you know what that means, let him know. Mostly, Marko spends his days (pick a metaphor): - Keeping the train on the tracks - Making sure we see the forest, not just the trees - Stretching the seams on his Pied Piper outfit These days, YS is in the midst of lots of wonderful and hard and exciting and hopeful change; so Marko is working the accelerator (fast enough? Not too fast!). Marko is on the CORE team, and writes books mostly for middle school ministry (after about 25 years of middle school ministry, he still thinks they re the coolest people on earth). Marko is a middle school boys small-group leader at his church. Marko and his wife Jeannie have two kids: Liesl is 14 years old, and Max is 10. Marko reads quite a bit, loves music and movies, the occasional round of golf, and his backyard hot tub. Marko blogs at www.ysmarko.com. |
