Mark Hickox is a highly intelligent and thoughtful heartlander who radiates success wherever he goes. He has worked in several fields and has brought his special brand of expertise to the farrier industry. As he built his first farrier business in Montana, he and I would often talk, and I was amazed at how he was able to create his business in such a short time. Life had other plans for Mark and his family, so he ended up on the other side of America, but the farrier industry is hard to leave, and Mark's story of coming back to it is a great one.
