Profile Picture
Name: 
Flood, Mark R.
Title: 
Professor
Department: 
Biology, Chemistry and Science Education/ College of Science and Technology
Biography: 

I am the first member of my family to get any kind of college degree. I obtained a B.S. from Purdue University, an M.S. from Washington State University and a Ph.D. from Utah State University. All my degrees are in Animal Science, with a specialization in early embryonic metabolism. My wife, Lori, and I have been happily married since 1988. Our only child, Amanda, was born in 1991. I started at Fairmont State in the fall of 1994 as an Assistant Professor of Biology. I have since been promoted to the rank of Professor and received tenure. When I first arrived on campus, I weighed nearly 300 pounds and rarely exercised. A couple of years after being here, I was diagnosed as having osteoarthritis. Using this as a motivation, I started exercising routinely and have taken up running with a passion. I have finished several marathons and hope to do several ultra marathons (30 miles or more) in the future. I have also recently become a "born again" Christian, so watch out! I love what I do and I hope to continue teaching for a long time!

What have you learned while teaching at Fairmont State?: 

How to be a better person.

What do your students like best about your class?: 

Hopefully my caring and compassion for them as people, and my sense of humor.
