Before coaching Mark was in the music and media industries. Beginning as a bass player in several bands, he played all sorts of musical genres from blues, jazz and soul to the gut-wrenchingly avant-garde. He went on to run a recording studio for 10 years. He specialised in composing and producing music for film and TV. Some of the people he wrote film scores for went on to do pretty well (though they haven’t been in touch lately). He still strums the guitar a little when in a celebratory mood.
Mark is also a devoted father and husband, and an enthusiastic, if undistinguished, mountain biker.
