Mr. Mark Brown, M.Ed., was the founder of Headwaters Academy, a private school in Ontario, Canada. He retired from the 5 day work week before the age of 40, and presently teaches financial literacy on a part time basis (for fun!) in the public school system in Ontario with students in grades 4 through 8.
