Mark Knutson with Mad Dog Vachon
In May of 2003, I had the privilege of meeting Mad Dog Vachon at a local professional wrestling event. He is sharp as a tack and speaks french fluently. He wrestled 13,000 matches in a career beginning as an amateur in Canada in the 1940s. He represented Canada in the 1948 Olympics, finishing 7th. He still travels from state to state signing posters and t-shirts. Talk about a strong work ethic!
Life and Times
Knowing that my life history is uneventful by any conceivable standard,
I will burden the reader with only a few salient facts:
- Received a computer programmer certificate from 916 Area Vocational Technical Instutute
in 1978, and a Bachelor of Arts from Metropolitan State University in 1982.
- Programmed computers from 1978 until 1982.
- Entered Hamline University School of Law in 1982, and graduated 1985. I passed the Minnesota Bar Exam, but never quite got around to being a lawyer. Been coding ever since.
- Wrote a treatise on Charles Ponzi in 1996.
- In May of 2000, obtained a vanity URL, www.mark-knutson.com.
