Welcome to Markshire.io
Hi, my name is Mark, but I’ve coined the word Markshire as a pseudonym. You see, “Markshire” is more than just a clever play on words – it’s a reflection of my influences and passions.
My first name, Mark, serves as the foundation, while the suffix “-shire” nods to two key inspirations in my life. Firstly, I’ve long been fascinated by Warren Buffett, whose conglomerate, Berkshire Hathaway, has captivated me with its business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit. The connection is more than just a nod; it’s a reminder of the value of careful planning, risk management, and long-term thinking.
Secondly, my love for J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth series, particularly the peaceful and idyllic Shire, has had a profound impact on my perspective and young adult life. I’ve always been drawn to the idea of a tranquil community, where simplicity and harmony coexist with innovation and progress. This vision informs much of my writing and thinking, as I explore the intersection of technology, culture, and personal growth.

Professionally, I work in healthcare, but I prefer to keep the details private. I believe that online anonymity is becoming increasingly valuable in the 21st century, especially given the amount of data tracking and social media that dominates our lives.
