Mark discovered trail running just over ten years ago at the age of fifty, and writing only within the last couple of years. The book began as a personal journal of an early running adventure in Nepal, and his emotional and inspirational relationship with a young and mysterious mountain nomad.

That journal sat idle until Mark's recent retirement from a 33-year teaching career when he resumed writing and began compiling the full story of an unforgettable decade in pursuit of the extraordinary.

In June of 2021, Mark self-published his first book, Man on the Run, A collection of trail running stories from Manitoba to Mount Everest, deciding to donate the profits from the sale of the book to local organizations, including MATR.
