Bio of Mark Squires

Children: Joshua – 21, Christopher – 18, Spencer – 16, Erick – 13. My kids are great but I have less hair as a result of all life's lessons they have taught me. My kids are active in sports and I have coached almost everything - soccer, football, baseball and basketball. Unfortunately, right now I'm going through a divorce. Because of job changes my family and I have lived in Toledo, the Cleveland area, Kansas City, New Jersey, and now the Detroit area.

Church: Remember I live out in the mission field, where you have less warm active bodies. I have served in a Bishopric, High Priest and Elders' Quorum presidencies, and as a Sunday School, Primary, and Seminary teacher.

Education: I received my BBA and MBA from the University of Toledo.

Work: I have been selling employer stop-loss insurance for the last six years. Prior to that, I worked for three different Blue Cross Blue Shield Plans. Right now I'm between jobs, trying to find one in the same field and area so my kids won't have to move.

Hobbies: Kids. I've also become a student of history.

Comps: I hate to try to mention them in fear that I would forget someone.

I am very grateful that I served with Mission Presidents and companions that drove me to work hard. Otherwise, I never would have been able to work full-time and go to school full-time. My mission provided me with experiences I will never encounter again. I will always be grateful.
