We would like to welcome incoming staff for the 2025-26 school year!
Creative Services welcomes Mark Sabotta, Web Developer/Programmer!
Please give a warm welcome to Central Rivers AEA Creative Services’ newest team member, Mark Sabotta! Mark joined our team on April 13 as a Web Developer/Programmer. He is based out of the Cedar Falls office.
Hi, everyone! I’m so excited to be working for Central Rivers! I can’t wait to leverage my diverse set of experiences to become an increasingly valuable member of the team. My experiences include eight years of Jr./Sr. High Math teaching for Wapsie Valley CSD, 1.5 years of data mapping for print with Professional Office Services and a couple of degrees in Mathematics from UNI.
I was born in Cedar Rapids and lived there with my two older brothers until we graduated high school and moved away. Since then, I have lived with my wife, Laura, here in Cedar Falls. We have two beautiful children; Margaret who is three, and Larry (Lawrence) who is eight months old.
My hobbies and interests include: talking about my kids (see me for pictures,) chess, video games and Magic the Gathering. Lately, I have been watching Invincible and The Boys, and I am excited to catch up on the last season of Stranger Things.
I strive to bring energy, willingness to understand, problem-solving, laughter and a smile to everything I do. No matter who you are, I hope we can meet, get to know each other and work together on making the world a better place!
