Mark Drenth grew up in San Jose, California, and received a BS in Business Administration with a concentration in Latin American International Business from San Jose State University. Upon graduation, he set up business for the next 17 years in San Juan, Puerto Rico with an eye on the Caribbean and Latin American markets. He began by establishing a publishing and import business servicing many of the southern Caribbean islands. Building upon that experience, he built his own candy company, Island Delight Gourmet Lollipops, which became the #1 candy SKU in the Caribbean Kmarts. He followed Island Delight Candy Co. by focusing on manufacturing opportunities in Latin America, and founded Aguadulce Bikini in Colombia in 2006. His latest endeavor brings us to Sunnyscene LLC and PROTOCOSM Press, and back to the business of publication. He currently resides in Reno, Nevada and Miami Beach with his 2 poodles.
