Mark and Chris each have a long history of working for and with organizations focused on social justice, peace and human rights. As a fundraiser, Chris raised millions of dollars for organizations like Farm Aid, Honor the Earth, the Sierra Club, and Special Olympics. As an activist and software developer, Mark created best selling educational software, including Oregon Trail, and used his technical expertise to help numerous nonprofits.

Mark and Chris met in 1993 when they worked together on a Democratic gubernatorial campaign. Five years later, they founded thedatabank, inc. Since then, they have devoted themselves to developing and delivering innovative database software to help organizations make a difference.
