About Mark Davis '86 BS

Raised mostly in the downriver Detroit area, most musical influences were acquired during Jr High and High 
school years while living in Galveston, TX. Playing guitar since the age of 14, Mark Davis first came to the 
Marquette area in September of 1979 after four years of Air Force service in Indiana. 

While in Marquette, Mark took advantage of the greater education availed to him through Northern Michigan 
University, studying Water Science as a major and Computer Science as an after thought. Life happened while 
he made plans and the computer side of his education took greater and greater hold in his carrer and interest. 
Finding computers in most everything electronic, particularly keyboards, synthesizers and computer based music 
became an obsession. All the while, in and out of local rock bands writing music and lyrics.

In the first decade of the 2000, Mark had acquired enough Digital Audio Workstation software and equipment to 
facilitate an extremely powerful and flexible recording setup in his home and fianlly began to record some his 
own stuff.

Nothing was ever published, but the music had to come out. What good is a gift if it cannot be shared? But music 
was not his career, only his passion. To fund the gear and software, Mark had learned how both repair and program 
computers and is now a systems administrator for a local company in the Keweenaw peninsula of the U.P.
