Sergeant at Arms 2020 - 2021
Sargeant at Arms (July 2019 - Present)
Mark Agopsowicz
Mark was born and raised, and still lives, in the great city of Seattle. Why leave? He loves to run, bike, listen to KEXP, and spend time with family and friends.
Mark joined Toastmasters to improve his comfort level for speaking in public, and his speech preparation skills. He defines himself as a typical introvert who is shy and quiet in nature, and hopes that Toastmasters can help him change that.
