Re-elect Richard Cordray – Ohio Attorney General

Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray with his children at a Cleveland Indians game in 2008

I met Richard Cordray in 2008 when he was campaigning for Ohio Attorney General. I was hired to photograph two of his appearances in Cleveland for publicity purposes. After he was elected, I had the privilege of photographing his inauguration in Columbus.

I am usually skeptical of anyone running for elected office – always wondering about their true motivation for seeking that position.

Spending time with Mr. Cordray allowed me to see a side of him that the general public doesn't as he interacted with his wife and children, staff, the news media and local politicians. What I found was a man who is committed to his family, is respectful of others and truly passionate about the legal rights of Ohioans. I believe Mr. Cordray is an excellent Attorney General and has earned the right to continue fighting for Ohioans for the next four years. Please join me in returning him to office as Ohio's Attorney General.

On Monday, November 1, I'll be giving a presentation on how I discovered the field of Ophthalmic Photography (photography of the eye) and then review the techniques used to have the position created just for me.

The presentation is geared mainly toward helping photographers explore other areas of imaging, how to find those positions and convincing an employer that you are the right person for the job – regardless of age or experience.

We'll also look at 15 job hunting tips that will help any person in any career field find their next job.

The free presentation starts at 8 p.m. at Mackenzie's Grill (at the Holiday Inn) at 4181 West 150th St. in Cleveland. (Just north of the I-71/West 150th St. exit).

Mark meets Bill Rancic – Trump’s first apprentice

While attending the COSE Small Business Conference at Cleveland's IX Center, I had the opportunity to chat with Donald Trump's original The Apprentice – Bill Rancic.

Even with all of his success, Bill is one of the most down-to-earth entrepreneurs you'll ever meet.

During his Keynote address, Bill spoke of one of his first experiences in the “business world.” As a young boy, his grandmother taught him how to make pancakes. One morning, she invited her elderly lady friends over to enjoy some of Bill's home made pancakes. After enjoying their meal, they departed and left Bill a small surprise. Tucked under each of their plates were $5 bills!

For the next five weeks, Bill begged his mother to let him visit grandma on the weekends. Bill invited grandma's friends over for a pancake breakfast and received his $5 reward from each of the ladies. Alas, a very young entrepreneur was born.

The COSE Small Business Conference is a great place to meet other entrepreneurs, take-in mini seminars on a variety of topics, meet vendors for many business needs and learn from highly successful keynote speakers like Bill Rancic. And the best part is the conference is free to all COSE members!
