Mark McNease and Rick Rose have been friends and collaborators for nearly 30 years. They co-created the Emmy and Telly winning children’s TV program Into the Outdoors, now in its third decade. They’ve worked together in theater, short film, podcasting, and Mark has written extensively for shows and advertising campaigns produced by Discover Mediaworks, Rick’s family’s company in Wisconsin. Mark lives in rural New Jersey with his husband Frank Murray (after 25 years in New York City), and Rick lives in Madison, WI. Together they are … The Twist.
