Mark was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and at an early age began traveling overseas with his parents.  Although they lived in various places, Venezuela was their home for six years.

 

Upon leaving Venezuela, Mark returned to Canada to complete his schooling.  He attended the University of Toronto for his Medical Degree and Dalhousie University for his residency in Family Medicine.

 

 Between second and third year of medical school, Mark did his first mission trip to the Chapare area of Bolivia for three months.  It was there he came face to face with God.  Even though he was raised in the church, a personal relationship with Jesus had not existed.  In Bolivia, Mark accepted Christ and a new life began.

 

Shortly thereafter, Mark met Joy, an energetic nurse.  They eventually wed and after residency they moved to Massachusetts where Mark practiced family medicine for 8 years.

 

It was there that a colleague introduced him to CMDA/GHO.  In 2002, Mark made his first trip with the GHO.  In 2006, God put it on Mark and Joy’s heart to step up and lead teams to Guatemala.

 

Mark is a Family Physician and ER doctor in rural Ontario.  Joy is a certified Registered Nurse.  They have four children, Sierra, Kylee, TJ and Josiah.

 

Their desire is to be God’s hands and feet to all they have the privilege of serving.
