Our Team

Mark was born in Barrie, Ontario, but moved to Listowel with his family in 1964.

He graduated from Listowel District Secondary School in 1971, Huron College at the University of Western Ontario with a BA in 1975, and from the University of Windsor Law School in 1980 with a Bachelor of Laws (LLB.). After articling, Mark returned to Listowel in 1982 to practice law and continued to practice in Listowel until he retired in 2021. Mark's practice was primarily a solicitor's practice consisting of commercial and residential real estate transactions, estate planning and administration, and negotiating matrimonial and civil files.

We are very grateful and proud of his dedication providing legal counsel, friendship and advice to his clients, our community and our firm over the years. Our firm continues to thrive building on the solid foundation that Mark created during his time in practice.

Mark is survived by his wife Pam, sons Alex and Reid and daughter-in-law Larissa. He continues to be the benchmark against which we measure ourselves.
