Marc Benzakein- Lead Organizer

Marc is the Operations Manager of ServerPress, LLC, but secretly, people there call him “The Mayor.” It may sound all well and good, but Marc knows that the real reason for it is because whenever something goes wrong, the mayor is the one who gets thrown under the bus first. As his first act as Mayor, Marc single-handedly passed legislation by issuing an Executive Order removing all busing and other public transportation as a precautionary measure.

With that out of the way, Marc thought it would be a great idea to run a WordCamp, because hey. . . who doesn’t like words (we all use them) and a good camping trip? Seemed like a natural match to him. Imagine his dismay when he found out that it was a two day event being held at a school. None the less, as with everything Marc does, he decided to make the best of it and says he’s enjoying “organizing the snot out of this thing.”

When asked about the theme, he responded, “What’s not to like? It’s the 50s! It’s Fonzie! It’s Happy Days! And WordCamps are two days of the happiest days of anyone’s life, right?”

Most people think that Marc has a screw or two loose, but it’s ok. He’s like that uncle that’s not quite crazy enough to call “everyone’s crazy uncle” but not quite sane enough to call “everyone’s cool uncle.” Those people may be right.  You can connect with Marc on Twitter @MarcBenzak.
