With a degree in environmental science and an obscure interest in ‘the first principles of democracy,’ Mark Simpson is a vital force behind WanderingCarol.com, serving as editor, sounding board and advisor.
His passion for hockey is matched only by his love for history and he probably knows more about the American Constitution than most history students ever will (or would want to).
