As a veterinarian and entrepreneur, Dr. Mark’s mission in life is to heal, innovate, educate and invest. As a Texas native, Dr. Mark grew up in a family of animal lovers and knew early on that he wanted to work with animals. He began his college career studying bioengineering at Texas A&M – Kingsville with an interest in orthotics and implant design, but later switched to veterinary medicine. Dr. Mark received his DVM in 2005 from Texas A&M University and returned to his hometown, Beeville, to practice at a mixed animal hospital. He married Victoria native, Magen, shortly after graduating from veterinary school and they moved to Victoria in 2007 where he joined a local small animal practice.
In 2009, Dr. Mark co-founded a general practice, Crossroads Veterinary Clinic, to offer both small and large animal services to the Golden Crescent area. In 2020, he co-founded Nexus Veterinary Specialists | Victoria, bringing specialty services to the Victoria area. In 2024 DrMark.Vet Animal Hospital- Beeville was opened where he continues to provide quality, advanced small animal services to the local and surrounding areas.
Dr. Mark has always possessed a passion for innovation and design. 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 continues 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.
Dr. Mark is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), Texas Veterinary Medical Association (TVMA), and Golden Crescent Veterinary Medical Association (GCVMA).
Dr. Mark and Magen have made Victoria their home along with their two sons. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, innovating new ideas, welding and constructing projects.
