My House Tour - Office

Jun 10

Howdy! I thought I would share my workspace with you today! I am blessed to have a whole room devoted to my work, my ideas, and my dreams! I like to think that it is a display of the past, present, and future! Being the hard-core Auburn University fan and alumni that I am, the decor is of course orange and blue! I had to incorporate my love for the place that played such a large part of this career journey.

This room was the space with the worst of the flooring damage. It had stains, scratches, and large portions of worn down wood. The hardwood floors were the first to be tackled in my home. The office best shows off how wonderful the new stain and finish turned out! Next, the walls got a fresh coat of paint with Sherwin Williams Silver Plate. Then came time to load in the furniture. The bookcases are from Ikea, the desks from Overstock, the work table from World Market, and the chevron side chairs from TJ Maxx. My mom made the draperies for me, love the bold stripe! Overall, I love how my little Auburn workspace turned out! War Eagle!

Before graduating from Santa Clara University with honors in Business Marketing, Mark developed a strong work ethic at his parent’s scientific research company. Starting there in his early teens, he jumped in wherever needed, from sweeping floors and counting inventory to soldering circuit boards and setting up trade show booths...he even launched their first web presence in 1996. After working for a couple dot com companies in Silicon Valley and a Dutch bank in Switzerland, Mark spent over 10 years at Google forming and overseeing diverse and dispersed teams and projects. It was through his travels during that time that his appreciation for travel management, especially for trusted and knowledgeable advisors, grew into something that led him to Casto Travel. As Casto’s Director of Marketing, Mark oversaw their online presence, making sure that those who have an experience with Casto, including those working at Casto, had a clear understanding of their values and services. By leading their marketing efforts, Mark was tasked with keeping everything on brand, accurate, and secure. His primary focus was on their websites and their social ties. Mark also provided oversight when it came to having a clear, consistent and positive brand message, particularly pertaining to customer satisfaction, lead generation, and recruiting.

Mark joined his wife, Carla, to build a different type of marketing consulting company. With R+R Creative Co, their objective is to bring clarity, sustainability, and accountability to their projects.

Throughout his years of working on the web, Mark has become an advocate for clarity, consistency, and security. He believes that we should all strive for excellence and going beyond expectations...especially when it comes to working with others.
