Mark Edward
Welch was
born to the
son of a Master
Sergeant Robert
Lee Welch,
USArmy at
the Naval
Base of Kittery,
Maine in the
year 1964.
Growing up
in the small
town of Springvale,
Maine, playing
baseball and
marching in
the local
High School
Band was his
dream. Neither
of the two
blossomed
into a career.
After completing
a bachelors
degree at
the University
of Maine,
Orono, Maine
in business
administration,
he knows absolutely
nothing of
running a
business although
his small
construction
company is
providing
a meager income.
After university,
this partially
deranged person
chose to enlist
in the United
States Navy
and was commissioned
by Congress
in 1986. 36
weeks later,
after completing
hell in Coronado,
California,
he was awarded
the coveted
Budweiser
pin, and began
a career as
Navy SEAL.
Four and a
half years
later he dumped
the career
for a new
wife that
soon dumped
him. Now,
Capt. Mark
spends his
time running
a small construction
company, being
a charter
captain for
local yachts
bound for
Bimini and
the Bahama's
and writing
in Miami Beach.
Walking his
four year
old boxer
on the beach
at sunset
is his favorite
pastime, yet
he enjoys
reminiscing
the old days
with friends
at the VFW...(mostly
lies), and
tossing back
frosty glasses
of beer. The
Captain likes
TKO critiques
and loves
to give them.
Poetry is
not his strong
point, yet
he is determined
to write something
that resembles
the art in
the near future.
