Beginning his apprenticeship as a locksmith in Moorabbin at the age of 17, he soon returned to Shepparton where he started the business Integra Locksmith Service with partners Dino and Len Di Bella.

But it wasn’t until Mark saw new swipe card technology for the first time, that he was blown away by the significance of high-tech advancements for security systems, as Mark stated,”Once I saw my first electronic access controller and access system I was sold. “Following his moment of revelation, Mark undertook training in electronics and became a security technician at ASDIC Security Industries while continuing to build the locksmith business at the same time.

With ASDIC eventually being sold to Chubb Security, Mark continued to develop his professional and technical prowess, later becoming NSW regional manager, and then state manager in Tasmania.
