My name is Mark Connelly. I grew up in Elkton, MD, a small town close to the Pennsylvania border. I went to the University of Maryland for undergraduate school and graduated in 2005. I took a year off before coming to Medical school and worked on a construction project in Mississippi for a few months and in the recovery room of the regional hospital that served our area. I moved to Chapel Hill in the spring of 2006, but I am still a diehard Eagles fan who gets up to games as often as I can. My hobbies include soccer, flying, hiking, biking and long walks on the beach.
