Mark Anderson. Forger of image, sound and iron. Co-proprietor of AnderWolfe Farmstead & Forge in Amboy, WA.
In past lives, I've worked in most aspects of book publishing (Bookpeople, Ten Speed Press, University of California, Insight Editions, Parallax) as a designer and sales/marketing guy. Moved to video production for tech and mostly worked with VMware. Now I'm building a farmstead and forge in Southern Washington and making knives and other tools in addition to digital sparklies.
