Mick Preston
Sir Mark (Mick) Preston, UrN is a Talossan citizen and citizen of Maritiimi-Maxhestic province. He served as Secretary of State for over three years.
Preston became a Talossan citizen on 21 September 2006, mostly in response to a call from his childhood friend Trotxâ Betiñéir indicating that the kingdom needed more players of fantasy football to fill out a league.
With the election of John Woolley to the throne thought to be probable, a vacancy in the office of Secretary of State was foreseen, and so Baron Hooligan, catching Preston in a condition of inebriation, convinced Preston to become Deputy Secretary of State under Woolley. In this capacity he ran the elections to the 37th Cosa, then took over as Secretary when Woolley resigned to accept the throne. Preston himself, saying "I stood on the shoulders of giants" when praised for his service, resigned after three years in office.
For his dedicated service as Secretary of State, Preston was knighted by the King into the Order for the Nation.
Preston currently holds the office of Dean of the College of Arms, having risen from a fellowship (The Odd Fellow) in that body to the rank of Penzance Pursuivant.
Personal Life
A resident of the US state of Kentucky, Preston has an adult son and is fond of the canine breed of whippets.
