Mark Empey - Introduction


            My name is Mark Empey and this is my final semester in the Masters of Accounting program at the University of Houston – Clear Lake.  I received my Bachelor degree in Economics from Texas A&M University in 2004.  During my college years in College Station I worked for a mortgage company doing loan processing, underwriting, and sales.  Upon graduation, I stayed with the mortgage company and went full-time in sales as a mortgage loan specialist.  After a year I worked my way up to a District Sales Manager.  After several years I left the mortgage industry but stayed in sales.  After several years in sales I decided that I was not super crazy about sales and wanted to start a new career.  I took two accounting classes at a junior college and loved them and decided that is what I wanted to do.  I made the choice along with my wife to go back to school and start my new career.  I am glad to be near the end.
          
           I have a very active life outside of school and work.  I have been married for eleven years and have three children.  My children’s ages are 7, 5, and 2.  As a family we love to spend time in the outdoors.  We love to ride bikes, camp, and swim.  One day we would love to live in Colorado.  Aside from spending time with my family, I love to play and watch sports as well as read.  This is my first time to blog and I have mixed feelings about it.  I do look forward to learning more about blogging and this new world of social media.
