Westport Board of Education member/Mini Maker Faire co-founder/all-around good guy Mark Mathias does not consider himself part of the 1%.
But LinkedIn does.
The site just welcomed its 200 millionth member. So, Mark notes, he shares his distinction with 2 million others.
“I have no idea why I would be in this 1% designation,” he says.
But he does know one thing: “I’m going to shovel 100% of the snow at my house this weekend.”


Mark is also part of the 100% good guys. Westport is lucky to have him and Kim as leaders of our community.
My profile was, too!

This post is very self-serving. Readers don’t appreciate such machinations.
Isn’t this whole story self-serving?
No.
Yes.
My apologies.
No need for apologies, Maria. I took it as a cute comment that there was more than one Westporters who was in the “1%” on LinkedIn. Not self-serving at all, and I think someone else just doesn’t have a sense of humor.
Congratulations, Mark! Since you live around the corner from us, does that mean we can be part of the “1% by association?” LOL
Mark, you rock!
