Regarding his inspiration for Ingredients, Robinson
explained “as I looked back over my life, I saw that the
development of certain ingredients enabled me to mature to
the next level of development and likewise saw when the lack
of certain ingredients inhibited me from growing beyond my
present circumstances. I am not perfect. Every now and then,
I have to stir up my ingredients, but the pot continues to
simmer and I am not done yet. There are ingredients that
still can be added by ourselves or by the Holy Spirit as we
progress through this journey called life. I was inspired by
the Spirit of God to write this book and hope it will help
others achieve the success they desire in life through the
development of their own ingredients.”
In addition to serving as director of Field Experience,
Robinson serves as an instructor of Social Work at Lourdes
University where he put his passion for fatherhood into the
development of a faith-based curriculum titled
Restoration of Fathers: Restoring Fathers to Their Original
Purpose and Position. Outside of the Lourdes community,
he is known for establishing R.E.S.T.O.R.E. Inc., a faith
based non-profit organization for restoring fathers back to
the head of the family through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
He is also a member of the Lucas County Fatherhood
Leadership Committee and serves on the board of the Ohio
Practitioners Network for Fathers and Families (OPNFF).
Prior to his extensive work in the Toledo area, Mark served
as a School-Based Mental Health Clinician for several years
and designed, developed, and implemented a successful
fatherhood program in Syracuse, N.Y. Mark. He was also team
captain of a local chapter of All Pro Dad which he
implemented at Lincoln Academy for Boys. Mark holds a
master’s degree in social work from Syracuse University.
