Vita Rara: A Life Uncommon

Primary links

Welcome

Hi, you've reached the website of Mark Menard, Freemason, developer, businessman, photographer, motorcyclist and all around nice guy.

The main joy in my life is Sylva, my loving partner and friend. (You will see plenty of pictures of her. Also check out our site.) My professonal career is running a consulting firm concentrating on business automation and custom software. I enjoy software development, motorcycles, photography, dancing, freemasonry and travel.

Here you will find galleries of my latest photos, thoughts on software development, freemasonry, the occassional politics, and other things. Enjoy your time here.
