Mark Blei's Bio


My name is Mark, and I am a student at Phoenix College.  I never would have thought math and science courses would be enjoyable, let alone become my foreseeable future.  I am a trained chef that has worked at many of the Valley's top resorts and restaurants.  I spent over a decade pursuing this career, before making a decision to change things up a little bit.  Never going to a formal college, I was curious about what the experience would be like.  I decided to take a few classes while I was working at a local bike shop (The Slippery Pig!), and one of those classes was a basic college algebra course.  I never had so much fun in my life.  Since then, I have continued to take heavy math and science course loads, and I have a strong interest in chemistry, engineering, and mathematics.  Discovering this side of my brain has been an incredibly fun and challenging experience.  

This is the third semester that I have been awarded the S-STEM scholarship through Phoenix College.  As part of the scholarship, I will be conducting a research experiment.  My blog will be documenting the project.  In my free time (haha), I make my own household products, as well as a few other things.  I will also be posting a few of these projects on here with a little chemistry explanation of the how and why behind them.
