Mark has been active in Recovery Circles for over 22 years, bringing deep lived experience and steady presence to the recovery space. After a 30-year career in Corporate IT consultancy, he retrained as a CCAR-accredited Recovery Coach to help support people in early recovery.
A lifelong traveller, Mark has been cruising for over 25 years, with more than 25 voyages across 11+ cruise lines. That experience now feeds directly into his work.
He is the co-founder of The Sober Cruise, creating carefully curated sober cruise experiences on mainstream ships. These small-group journeys offer the freedom of an alcohol-free holiday without compromise — combining exceptional dining, inspiring destinations, and world-class entertainment with a relaxed, welcoming community of like-minded travellers who value presence, connection, and ease.
