Mark's Story

Life THis is too funny! I have missed all my class renunions over the years - and what a great way to get back in the loop! Since NWSS - I went onto UBC and SFU...while at SFU I worked through 1 semester a year (fall) and spent winters coaching and teaching skiing, ski racing and living in Banff and Whistler. Live summers in either California or Oregon - surfing and windsurfing. During a portion of each summer, I would work at ski camp in the glacier that all the top coaches and ski guys in the world worked at (and worked by way up the ladder - until I ran the camps). One of the guys was Dave Murray (old crazy Canuck) who rounded up a bunch of ski bums like me to build a company that ran ski camps and events all year round. That led to golf....and other business. Then I formed my own company that built on that model but updated to include the stuff I was into - Snowboarding, Skateboarding, Music etc. In the lat 80's - settled back in Vancouver (Dunbar area). My company evolved and became a leader in action sports, music and youth promotions - then through turn of events was aquired by ...Expand for more
IMG (big grand daddy of event marketing world wide) - now I do it all from big golf projects and TV productions to skateboarding events. Paula (we are live in) and I have now also started a business in Portland Oregon (a Lululemon franchise)...so comute a lot between Vancouver and Portland. I now travel too much, work too hard...but still finding time to surf, skateboard, windsurf, golf and enjoy! Personal life - never married - but had some great relationships with very cool girls. Currently living with a great girl named Paula and our version of a kid...Lulu the German Shepard (named prior to lululemon ever started!). Fun - I own a house in Hood River, Oregon (our base for the lululemon business) and some of my best friends live in Carlsbad California and Maui - so those are my three regular get aways. My main passion is surfing now (I am over the winter thing and being cold) - so every spare weekend, vacation etc is spent going to cool surf destinations with my buddies. Hope all is good with everyone and much success and happiness in what ever your up to. All the best - Mark
