Mark has 12 years’ experience in the Community Services space and his life’s mission is to speak up where others have fallen silent – whether because they need help to find their voice, or because they need someone to cheer them on.
Mark has experience in writing policies and interpreting legislation. His lived experience of disability has created a passion to challenge the boxes that others try to place him in. This motivated him to understand the rules better than those trying to impose them, and to utilise that knowledge to better position himself and others. His current role as a Support Coordinator and company owner, has been fuelled by this drive.
Mark has found running a business and living with a disability to be both challenging and rewarding. Helping others with a disability to start their own businesses and reach their full potential has brought Mark a lot of joy.
Having a movement disorder, Mark jokingly defines himself as someone who falls down a lot, but always picks himself up and keeps going. Perseverance and refusing to give up are mantras he lives by.
