Mark Benson can't help but look up. There's so much to see. He grew up near Chicago, has a journalism degree from Marquette University, and after living all around the country, has landed in Oak Park, Illinois, the home of Hemingway, Frank Lloyd Wright, and his brilliant daughter and wife. Mark is a recovering journalist and tennis pro, who now owns and runs the family business. In his spare time, he writes young adult novels and teaches people about telescopes at Chicago's Adler Planetarium.
