			== The accidental convert (or: how to fail your way to the top) ==

	Mark's origin story is the flat Earth equivalent of slipping on a banana peel and accidentally becoming a cult leader. In 2014, he tried to '''debunk''' a flat Earth video—yes, you read that correctly—and failed so spectacularly at debunking it that he accidentally convinced ''himself''. This is like trying to disprove Bigfoot by going into the woods, tripping over something hairy, and emerging as the president of the Bigfoot Fan Club.

	His excuse? Being single. No, really—Mark credits his discovery of flat Earth to having "a huge amount of free time on his hands." Apparently marriage and children are the only things standing between most of us and believing Antarctica is an ice wall from Game of Thrones.		His excuse? Being single.

	In 2016, Mark co-hosted the "Flatties" with Patricia Steere—a self-congratulatory award show where flat Earthers gave themselves trophies for YouTube videos. The award was a gold-painted figure holding a flat Earth on its shoulders, which is either symbolic or just what happens when you have too much free time and access to craft supplies.
