Mark is a Registered OPC Technician (2008) and a Certified Pedorthic Technician(2009) and has been actively working in the field since 1997. He completed his 2 year Diploma from George Brown College at SCIL in Toronto's Sunnybrook Hospital in 1997 where Fred and Carla were his instructors. The working relationship with Fred  began soon after the inception of Applied Biomechanics back when it was just a 2 man show. Marks extensive experience working with materials and vast understanding of the clinical requirements needed to successfully treat patients with the wide range of bracing is a direct result of working so close with Fred over the years. Collaboration, design, R+D and fabrication has all played a crucial role in this ever evolving relationship. We continue to use the valuable experience to create the very best for our patients. Marks spare time is enjoyed staying very active, being outdoors, cooking and spending time with family and friends.
