  Mark is a seasoned environmental professional with nearly two decades of experience guiding complex infrastructure and energy projects through the demands of environmental and agricultural impact assessment. With a strong foundation in environmental planning, resource management, and regulatory compliance, he brings a balanced and thorough approach to evaluating project impacts and identifying practical opportunities for avoidance and mitigation. His work spans multiple jurisdictions and includes navigating both provincial and federal environmental assessment processes—often in sensitive rural and agricultural settings.

Specializing in greenfield development, Mark has successfully led the assessment and permitting of large-scale renewable energy, transmission, and civil infrastructure projects across North America. His expertise includes assessing impacts on agricultural lands, coordinating multi-disciplinary technical studies, and producing clear, defensible documentation for regulatory review and stakeholder engagement. Known for identifying constraints early in project development, Mark enables teams to refine siting and design strategies that minimize or avoid impacts from the outset.

Over the course of his career, Mark has supported the successful delivery of more than 1.9 GW of renewable energy, including wind, solar, and battery storage projects, often leading the initial due diligence and impact assessment phases. He has also provided strategic leadership for over twenty IESO RFP submissions. Mark’s pragmatic approach, regulatory insight, and collaborative style have made him a trusted advisor in advancing development while maintaining a strong commitment to land stewardship and community values.
