My name is Mark Jackson, I am from Hazel Green, AL where I spent my youth. Since, I have traveled around most of Alabama as well as some time in the Midwest. I have been writing for ten years and I am overjoyed to be contributing to OurValleyEvents. Outside of my writing I am also working towards a degree and spend a lot of time taking care of my lovely dogs and traveling to new and exciting places. I am also passionate about music and video games. I have worked in Healthcare and retail before turning to professional writing and have always been passionate about sharing stories with the people around me. I look forward to this opportunity and relish the coming months working with OVE. I am excited to help keep the masses up to date on the coming events and what is worth checking out.
