Mark Seppala's bio reads: "Mark grew up in a small town in Massachusetts, Pembroke to be exact. At an early age he became extremely interested in Walt Disney and all the characters included in the Disney family. After graduation from high school he went to the New England School of Art and Design in Boston where he majored in Advertising Design and Animation. After graduating from art school, Mark held various positions at local Boston design studios and in-house graphics departments. He has designed and worked on projects for print ads, animated TV spots, trade show videos, logos and more. During the time he was employed at these studios, Mark continued to pursue his longing for a job at Disney. After trying for over 10 years he finally became a cast member in 1990 for Attractions Merchandise. To this day he continues to be amazed at the amount of talent he works with. The pixie dust never seems to wear off. As Mark says, "I love coming to work each day". Pins in the 2005 collection include: 35969, 36847, 37512, 38132,
