More About Mark

I combine 25+ years of experience across business ownership, manufacturing and fabrication, all aspects of sales, operations leadership, and technical consulting with deep, hands-on marine industry capability. As a permanent Whitsunday resident, commercial skipper, and active Marine Rescue operator, I bring a cool head, macro level business intellect, and uncompromising standards to all aspects of my professional career.

With a strong focus on team development, I am currently completing my TAE40122 (Certificate IV in Training and Assessment) to formalize my extensive background in upskilling staff, implementing new operational systems, and elevating team professionalism.

As Unit Development Coordinator and senior member with Marine Rescue Queensland (MRQ) – Whitsunday, I pair this developmental mindset with real-world capability, making high-quality, calculated decisions in high-stress emergency, rescue, and recovery situations.

My marine operational background includes close-quarters vessel maneuvering, beach landings, passenger/gear logistics, and providing charter boat briefing. Beyond boat handling, I bring extensive engineering capability to fleet management, with hands-on experience in preventative vessel maintenance, mechanical servicing, and advanced electrical troubleshooting to ensure maximum vessel uptime.

Whether commanding a vessel on the water, mentoring crew, or managing operational assets in the front office, I focus on delivering uncompromising safety compliance and exceptional client experiences.
