Mark Putnam received his B.A. in Economics at Stanford University in 1977. He rejoined his family’s car business where he had started years before sweeping floors. Mark rose to general manager and owner of several dealerships, but his passion was always in the field of spirituality. After trying out a number of spiritual teachers, he found Dr. Michael Mamas in 1998. Dr. Mamas’ integration of rationality with spirituality worked well for Mark and continues to this day. Mark’s house, right next to the Temple, was the first building at Mount Soma, completed in 2007.
