Mark

Half-Italian, half-Croatian, Mark spent time in Croatia in the army, as a scuba-diver, and an archaeologist. He took part in Croatian Bodybuilding competitions and competed on European Motorbike circuits. When he was 20 he worked in Milan, Rome, Paris, Hong Kong and New York as a fashion model, also working as an exotic dancer in New York. Love brought him to London, where he took up bodybuilding again.

He competed in The Stars of Tomorrow Bodybuilding Competition, coming third in the Heavyweight division. By April of 2004 was sixth in the ProAm competition, which compares the best of the amateur builders with professional builders. Mark was compared to Frank Zane (one of the worlds best builders) for his size and overall symmetry.

He is now beginning to train again, and get back into bikes - he has just bought himself a Suzuki 1000 motorbike, one of the fastest roadbikes around.

Mark works to support himself and his older partner.
