Mark began his career in the UK at the Kegworth Hotel before moving on to the Novotel in London. Since coming to Australia, he has gained a wide experience in restaurants and hotels including the Art Gallery of NSW, Stamford Resort at North Ryde, Banjo Patterson’s Cottage Restaurant, Alberts’s Lakeside Restaurant and Echoes Restaurant in the Blue Mountains. At Echoes, Mark introduced Australian ingredients to their wedding function menus and many Australians tied the knot with innovative buffets using native ingredients in the bushland setting.

Mark co-hosted the TV cooking show Dining Downunder with Vic Cherikoff and Benjamin Christie, which explores cooking using native Australian ingredients.

Mark has now moved to Wollongong, NSW where he runs The Beachhouse restaurant.
