Mark Hoffman grew up in New Jersey, a small town called Fairlawn. He found sports to be his first love, followed by competitive bodybuilding, and then believe it or not, writing poetry. Although he has been writing poetry on and off since his days of high school, he has only dedicated his full attention and time to it for about the last 2 or so years.
Once his father passed away, he promised himself not to take life for granted, so he decided right then to devote all his time and energy into what he loves most, writing poetry.
