  Mark is a seasoned, technically oriented individual with many years of experience in heavy machinery. His engineering career has been heavily weighted in hydraulic systems design however has also had related responsibilities throughout his career with mechanical and control systems in heavy machinery, both mobile and stationary. Mark received his post secondary education at Conestoga College with a diploma in Mechanical Engineering specializing in hydraulics and pneumatics. Mark spent the first few years of his career with Dowty Canada and Frontier Hydraulics doing sales and engineering of hydraulic equipment. After a short stint operating heavy machinery in northern Ontario, Mark returned to southern Ontario and joined Maclean Engineering. Mark spent the next 17 years with Maclean Engineering in engineering design and management and often travelled the world troubleshooting and training related to underground roof bolting and remote controlled ore flow conditioning machines. He brings to the table not only a considerable passion and understanding of heavy mobile machinery but also a good understanding of mining and construction and an inquisitive world view of its peoples and cultures. In 2005, Mark left Maclean Engineering to become a partner in MEDATech Engineering. Together with Robert Rennie who had started the company in 2003, Mark quickly became engaged in various technical challenges across a wide array of heavy machinery industries including surface mining, heavy construction, heavy transport, rail, and power generation. Mark’s view of machinery broadened and he was exposed to the way different industries performed operational tasks and the technical aspects of the machinery that performed the tasks. His years in heavy machinery and exposure to numerous industries has then allowed him to provide key design input into more efficient ways to tackle existing tasks or conversely conceiving innovative methods of approaching evolving industry paradigms.
