As a veterinarian and entrepreneur, Dr. Mark’s mission is to heal, innovate, educate, and invest. 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 University–Kingsville, with a focus on orthotics and implant design, but later shifted his path toward veterinary medicine. He earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree from Texas A&M University in 2005 and returned to his hometown of Beeville to practice at a mixed animal hospital.
Shortly after graduating, Dr. Mark married Magen, a Victoria native. The couple moved to Victoria in 2007, where Dr. Mark joined a local small animal practice. In 2009, he co-founded Crossroads Veterinary Clinic to provide both small and large animal services to the Golden Crescent region. Continuing his drive to improve access to veterinary care, Dr. Mark co-founded Nexus Veterinary Specialists | Victoria in 2020, expanding specialty services in the area. He practiced in this hybrid general and specialty clinic for three years.
Dr. Mark has always had a strong passion for innovation and design. In 2018, he launched Besancon Innovations, a company dedicated to developing solutions that enhance all aspects of animal life. This vision continued to grow, and in late 2022, he founded DrMark.Vet with a mission to safely and simply create, educate, and improve ideas, products, and procedures related to animal care. The company also invests in others to help bring their innovative ideas to life. In 2024, DrMark.Vet expanded further with the addition of a small animal hospital, where Dr. Mark continues to provide high-quality, advanced veterinary services to Victoria and surrounding areas.
Dr. Mark is an active member of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), Texas Veterinary Medical Association (TVMA), and Coastal Bend Veterinary Medical Association (CBVMA).
He and Magen have made Victoria their home along with their two sons. In his free time, Dr. Mark enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, innovating new ideas, coin collecting, welding, and building various projects.
