Originally from Melbourne, Mark moved to Adelaide to pursue his interest in dentistry and completed a Bachelor of Dental Surgery at the University of Adelaide in 2007. Mark started working as a dentist in Cairns the following year at two practice locations in Earlville and Gordonvale. The decision to move to Cairns was not purely motivated by work with Mark having a keen interest in fishing, camping and 4WDing, making several trips up Cape York in search of adventure. He is also passionate about fitness and has competed in the Great Pyramid Race in Gordonvale numerous times. Mark prides himself on being able to offer high quality yet affordable orthodontics to all age groups and periodically visits both Tully and Weipa to help provide specialty services to more remote regions of Far North Queensland and Cape York.
