About the Author

A 20-year veteran volunteer at Children's Medical Center in Dallas, Mark became acquainted with heart surgeon Dr. Kristine Guleserian. The more he learned about this talented surgeon, the more he felt her story should be told. For five years he shadowed Dr. Guleserian in surgery, patient meetings, rounds, and more, to create Surgeon's Story: Inside OR-1 With one of America's Top Pediatric Heart Surgeons. Using the journalistic style he developed over 30 years in sports broadcasting, Mark paints a vivid portrait of a woman with an extraordinary skill set and almost no ego.
