Dr. Mark was born and raised in San Francisco. During his time at UCLA as a psychobiology major, he spent many hours shadowing various optometry offices. These offices demonstrated the unique and close-knit patient-doctor relationships forged in optometry, unlike any other profession.
His newfound passion fueled him to attend the Southern California College of Optometry, where he graduated in May of 2018 with Summa Cum Laude Latin Honors.
