Despite all his health education, Marc failed his military physical examination during theViet Nam era when he tried to enlist. He was subsequently drafted, but, again, failed his physical. “I guess I wasn’t meant to go,” he says.
Currently teaching at a college of Oriental Medicine in Gainesville, FL. he taught at several universities in Nursing education. “I teach Kripalu Yoga & meditation classes at our Ashram, practice alternative medicine as an advanced nurse practitioner, do therapeutic massage and rehabilitation for persons who have experienced trauma and lead an Eastern Spirituality study group.”

He is a member of the Scholastic Nursing Society and a nationally certified Yoga teacher.
When not working and teaching, Marc enjoys gardening, woodworking and reading
Noting great pride in his family, Marc says, “the day my children were born were the happiest. Next was the day I married Lincy.”
Marc hopes to spend the rest of his days “living by example to increase the awareness of our connection with all life and our Creator and to assist the process of manifesting peace, tolerance and love for all sentient beings.” We wish him success.
He concludes with “In Peace, Love & Light”. His e-mail address is marc4790@mindspring.com
