Dr. Mark’s mission in life is to heal, innovate, educate and invest. As a Texas native, Dr. Mark grew up in a small rural community with a family of animal lovers and knew early on that he wanted to work with animals. His engineering mindset also stemmed from his family as he was always helping his father and two brothers with projects that included welding, construction, and mechanics. There was never a shortage of projects, from welding BBQ pits to home remodeling projects to rebuilding engines. This upbringing inspired his future and Dr. Mark began his college career studying bioengineering at Texas A&M – Kingsville with an interest in orthotics and implant design. He later switched to veterinary medicine and received his DVM in 2005 from Texas A&M University which began his career as a veterinarian. His passion for engineering never faded though, and ultimately inspired him to open a company that combines both his veterinary and engineering skills. In 2018 he created Besancon Innovations, a company with a mission to create and innovate solutions to improve all aspects of animal life. This passion continued to grow and in late 2022 he expanded several aspects of his innovation company by creating DrMark.Vet with a simple mission to safely and simply: create, educate and improve ideas, products and procedures that relate to all aspects of animal life and invest in others to help bring their innovative ideas to reality.
