The first book Mark Rounds read, other than "See Spot Run" was "Rocketship Galileo" in the second grade. He was restricted from the library in the third grade because it was such a wondrous place, that he forgot to do his "real" homework. Things haven't changed much since then. Mark has been an Air Force officer fuzzing radars in B-52's, a bouncer in some of Spokane's least classy bars, a consultant in information technology, geek in a cube in a couple .com's, folk singer, and currently faculty at the University of Idaho in MIS. He has published papers and conference proceedings on Computer Security, Hacking Motivations, Geographical Information Systems, and Grizzly Bear Habitat. Academically, Mark has a BS in Computer science from Montana State University in 1978, MBA from University of North Dakota in 1985, MS in Computer Science from Washington State University in 2000, and a PhD at the University of Idaho in 2014 focusing in Cyber Security. Mark has promised his wife that he will enter into a 12-step program to kick his education habit. When he was younger and more foolish, he competed as an IPF power lifter and has a first ascent in Glacier Park on Red Rock Point. Mark's current hobbies include Civil War Reenacting, Reading, Folk Guitar, competing in Practical Pistol meets, and cooking gourmet food for his wife of 40 years and 3 grown offspring. Mark is also known as a gamer and has recently published his fourth novel, "Commonality Games".
