Mark Rostoks Deakin student – publication success
Bursting Bubbles (Making Adversity Okay)
The ramblings of a complex quadriplegic in quarantine
This is my blog and website encompassing all things me. I have many interests, many ambitions and one hell of a back story. I also have a pretty addictive personality, and one where I get obsessed with things from time to time – but I like that. I see it as insatiable curiosity.
He’s described as: For all things a day-dreamer, a larrikin and an undeniable fighter. Mark advocates for both Adversity and Lyme Disease; and boasts an absolute passion for green living, nutrition and organic foods. The spirited life coach, with prior background in marketing & advertising, now has more recent aspirations that include becoming a published author.
The Good Men Project also indicates the breadth of his capacities and interests. His bio states in part:
…Now if that’s not enough for this ‘inspiration’, he’s currently at Uni studying Creative Writing and Marketing. Where Consumer behaviour is his passion.
