Mark Becker’s Experience
-
Owner
Airfaredig.com
(Internet industry)
October 2004 — Present (4 years 10 months)
Airfaredig.com is a Web site that strives to give consumers a "heads-up" when airlines have undervertised, hard-to-find airfare sales. I currently run all aspects of the site, including updates, maintenance, design, and doing media interviews. Believe it or not, it is a blast!
