Mark — Founder & Editor

I've had a weird fascination with where things go when they disappear. As a kid, I was the one asking what happens after you flush — not to be gross, but because I genuinely wanted to understand the system. That curiosity never really went away. Years later, I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole about septic systems and wastewater infrastructure, and I was surprised by how little most homeowners know about the system buried in their yard, the one they depend on every single day.

By day, I work in enterprise technology, helping businesses build better communication systems. That background gave me a specific lens: I kept noticing that the septic industry had a transparency problem. Homeowners had no easy way to compare companies, verify credentials, or understand what a fair price looked like. The information was out there, but it was scattered across outdated directories, pay-to-play listing sites, and company websites that all claimed to be "the best."

So I built SepticTankHub, a free, data-driven directory that organizes verified company information in a way that actually helps people make decisions. Every listing starts with real Google Business Profile data. Every rating comes from actual customer reviews. And every piece of content is researched with the same obsessive curiosity that got me into this in the first place.

When I'm not working on the directory, I'm probably reading about emerging technology, on a tennis court somewhere (my actual dream is to spend a summer in Europe doing nothing but playing tennis), or explaining to friends why septic systems are more interesting than they think. They're still not convinced.
