Mark W. Fuller

Fuller was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. While he was in junior high school, he built a small pond in the backyard of his parents' house. He would later recall "Here I was, fooling around with a hundred-and-twenty-volt current, in water, but nobody seemed concerned." Fuller nearly obtained a second degree in theater from Utah. He had started attending theater classes to meet actresses, but stayed on to develop stage effects, including an altar that spewed fireballs on command for a production of Agamemnon. After graduating from Utah, Fuller went on to attend graduate school at Stanford University, where he took several project design courses that gave him "a deep appreciation of form" and worked "blue-collar" jobs during the summers, graduating in 1978. Fuller received an honorary doctorate from the University of Utah in 2015. ==Career==

As part of his undergraduate thesis in Civil Engineering at the University of Utah, Fuller developed a large-scale laminar flow nozzle with two other seniors that has since been used extensively in WET's water features. The first nozzle was used in a fountain installed in the atrium of The Conquistador, now an apartment building on 3300 South, but which has since been removed. and was named one of Fast Company’s Most Creative People. Later that year, The New Yorker called him “the closest thing the world has to a fountain genius”. Fuller was featured in The New York Times’s "Corner Office" business feature in 2011, spoke at Salt Lake City's first TEDx on the topic of "Design Disintegration". and was inducted into the Utah Technology Council’s Hall of Fame. WET Design received the American Institute of Architects’s “Allied Professions Honor Award", a Los Angeles Architecture Award for Landscape Architecture and Images of Universal Design Excellence Project Award. The company has also been named one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies in 2010 and has been featured in Interior Design, The New York Times, theLos Angeles Times and CBS News Sunday Morning. ==Personal==
