Mark is an enthusiastic hobbyist with a background in woodworking. Mark graduated from Conestoga College’s Woodworking Diploma program in early 1990s but pursued a career in Actuarial Mathematics. However Mark’s interest in woodworking never went away and he has been slowly relearning his skills and continues to add to his tool collection. You can follow Mark on Instagram and see some his projects on our Projects page.
A long time ago in a woodshop not so far away, Mark actually listened to his father!
