Mark is originally from southern Alberta and moved to Saskatchewan in the mid 80’s. He attended the U of S and received his Bachelor of Science degree majoring in computer science. Following graduation, he promptly moved to Ottawa where he began his IT career as an analyst with Revenue Canada. Mark returned to Saskatoon 2 years later and joined the
ESTI team as a general analyst and software developer.
Mark has been involved with all facets of IT planning, development, configuration and implementation lifecycles. Projects have included the development and implementation of payment systems, tax calculation modules, web enabled data remittance systems, safety management systems, pension and benefit administration systems and much more. The main question Mark is asked by those considering ESTI is why he has stayed at one place so long – the answer is easy: the IT world continues to change and working at ESTI has allowed him to experience these changes first hand. At ESTI, Mark has been fortunate to act as an Analyst, DBA, Director of Application Development, CIO and since 2004, CEO. He continues to have the opportunity to actively participate on projects in project management and business analyst roles.
With nearly 25 years of direct IT experience behind him, Mark continues to learn and apply his knowledge within projects as well as within ESTI’s daily operations. Although Mark's time is concentrated in Saskatoon, he still plays a liaison role with clients in Vancouver and Regina. Additionally, Mark has sat on the Saskatchewan Advanced Technology Association board of directors and the Saskatoon Industry Education Council and is actively involved in his community.
