Mark was born in the early 70s, at a very young age, as was common in those times. He lived with his parents for while and attended a outer-suburban private school. Any education he recieved in this period was entirely incidental. In his free time, which was plentiful in the 70s, he watched the Muppet Show and played with matches

At some point, Mark's parents realised that they were not cut out to be parents and sent him to boarding school just north of a small bakery. This was a good move, as it allowed Mark to develop his own interests and talents, and to learn how to look after himself. Except for cooking and cleaning, all of which was done for him. He also got to meet his future wife, Nicky, who was also at the school, having relocated from a town with a population of 1000.

After school, Mark went to university and studied a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Psychology and Politics. This was a good move, and he learned things from time to time. He could and should have worked much, much harder, but he didn't. He also got to meet his future wife, Nicky, who was also at the school.

Mark then went to work for a telecommunications company, where he met a girl called Belinda. They got married and had two daughters, Eliza and Matilda. Belinda and Mark divorced amicably after an incident at a cheese shop, and Mark married Nicky within the year. They also had two daughters, Eliza and Matilda, which - oddly - no one commented on this at the time.

Mark was in a band called the Foccacia Penguins, and played in a few quiet spots in inner Melbourne. He also learned to play the guitar, which is still his favourite instrument. He would sometimes do interpretive dance to accompany his songs. He might still own two guitars, although he has not played them in years.

Following the birth of his daughters, Mark decided that he needed a career that would allow him to spend more time with his daughters. He went to university to retrain as a teacher and spent much of his time at university being frustrated and considerably disillusioned with the whole process. He took a job as a teacher of Computing at Geelong High School, where he has been ever since.

Mark is interested in many things, but is not very good at any of them. He is learning to code, and this website is the result. It is not very good, but it is a start.

Mark is married to Nicky, and they have four daughters, Eliza, Matilda, Elsie and Esme.

Mark's siblings are Brendan, who is a teacher of Dance, and Freya, who has a Buick dealership in the valley.

Mark has refused to deny rumours that he used AI to write this text.
