Mark grew up in Blenheim, Ontario and moved to Waterloo to attend Wilfrid Laurier University. After graduating with an Economics degree from WLU and Conestoga College’s Accounting program, Mark started his Accounting/Finance career in the Waterloo Region. Mark gained experience at 2 large International organizations and as the Controller of a Family-run Aerospace company. In 2000, Mark moved with his family to Oakville and subsequently started a Consulting business, taking advantage of his varied experience and extensive network. 6 years into successfully operating his consulting business, a friend convinced Mark of the virtues of Tim Hortons and Mark embarked on a 7 year stint with its Corporate Head Office.

While looking for a business to take advantage of his experience and numerous leadership roles, Mark was convinced that CertaPro Painters was the perfect opportunity for these stars to align. An interesting note is that Mark painted for 2 summers, did warranty work for painting company 1 summer and trained new painters 1 summer all while attending University and College – so he has definitely come full circle! Mark enjoys leading and partnering up with his staff and contractors to realize their full potential. Mark is a firm believer that a professionally run, trustworthy and Customer-focused service business sets CertaPro Painters apart from the competition.
