Mark Pardoe

Mark Pardoe was born in England but moved to Melbourne in 1996, when he finally accepted that he had no chance of making it as either a soccer star or a racing driver in his country of birth. After foolishly working in some serious jobs like banking and telecommunications, he eventually retrained as a primary school teacher in 2006. Mark currently lives in Perth with his wife, Melissa, daughter, Sally, and dog, Jazz, as well as several small unnamed geckos that seem to like it in their house.
