Profile image for Mark Loftin

Mark Loftin

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2017

Thanks for reading my profile! My name is Mark, and I am a financial advisor and hobby musician in California's Bay Area. When Friday comes, I like to hit the open road. During my weekend road trips I like to hike, mountain bike and explore off-the-beaten path places.
