Mark L. Shubert is the Chair of Tarpeia (Amending America ltd.)

During my freshman year at The King's College (December 2019), I started a small website which covered the Constitution and the historical context surrounding its creation, ratification, and early implementation. The more research I included the more I was compelled to add which grew the site from a small scholarly project to what it is today. In May of 2022 I took the website idea and incorporated it as a nonprofit 501(c)(3). I received notice from the government of my charity status while I was in Rome and so I added a second name to the org "Tarpeia" named after the Tarpeian Rock on the south side of the Capitoline Hill. I began a Youtube channel to upload videos which I embed onto the site since storing videos on Youtube is free while storing videos directly on websites is costly.

I graduated college in May of 2023 with a Bachelors degree in Finance and minored in Economics and Politics. I studied finance and economics despite having a passion in history and politics because most political issues today could be solved with sound financial management.

I am an Eagle Scout. I am a member of the Sons of the American Revolution. My family on my mother's paternal side came over to America in 1630 on the flagship of the Winthrop fleet called the Arabella. I have volunteered at the Humane Society, Habitat for Humanity, Red Cross, American Legion, Veteran's Affairs, and the Boy Scouts.

My aims for this charity are to: compile the best online repository of primary source documents that is comprehensive, meaningful, and user-friendly in regards to navigation and reading; curate the best online curriculum covering American history and civics in a constructive, educationally-professional manner; revise and publish academic papers that enrich our shared understanding of American history which includes exploring topics and people of the past who are neglected and correcting historiographies which intentionally or unintentionally promote an incorrect or even insidious appreciation of past peoples or concepts; become an educational vender in all states and territories; be a center of a consortium of educational institutions and educators with shared values; lastly, raise the standard of every student's, every teacher's, and every scholar's understanding of American history.

These are my aims; I know these are your aims as well. Let us work together to achieve our shared goals.

I am inspired by those around me including a recent member of the team, Conor, who is my Consigliere and friend. Thank you.
