Mark originates from the UK but has made Arcata home with his wife Helen. He was introduced to rock climbing amongst the Peak District outcrops near Sheffield, England and a school trip to North Wales in 1983 began his passion for paddle sports and mountaineering. Since then Mark has been messing around in all kinds of boats in all kinds of waters for almost 25 years.
Along the way, Mark has gained a number of British Canoe Union awards including the coveted Level 5 Coach (Sea). Having explored Eastern Greenland, he has come to recognize that modern paddling skills owe much to our Greenlandic cultural heritage of yesterday. Mark enjoys the blend of teaching traditional skills using contemporary coaching processes and puts his students at the center of the experience.
Mark has participated in and lead a number of overseas expeditions to such places as Alaska, Baja, Norway, Greenland, Morocco, Tanzania, Kenya and Ecuador as well as completing a doctorate (PhD) in expedition leadership. He has contributed to numerous symposium and events around the world, as well as written articles for publications such as Ocean Paddler and Canoe Focus.
