Born and raised in Namibia, Mark has always had a deep connection with the outdoors and nature. His passion for adventure travel began at 19 when he spent a year surfing around the world. After earning a degree in computer science from Stellenbosch University, he moved to Ireland, where he worked in the corporate sector for six years. During this time, he indulged in mountain biking and travelled to various destinations, always seeking active ways to experience new places, whether through surfing, cycling, snowboarding, or hiking.
Returning to Namibia, Mark discovered fat biking, which perfectly aligned with his adventurous spirit and love for nature. He saw an opportunity to share the unique experience of exploring the Namibian desert on a fat bike, combining his passion for adventure and the outdoors.
