Mark Reale remembers well what it was like to know nothing about web development.

Formerly a professional in the financial industry, a trained and certifiable Private Investigator, a Real Estate Development Project Co-ordinator, a Greyhound Bus Traveler, and an assistant at a Holistic medicine center, Mark approaches the web development industry from many different angles.

Having cultivated an interest in media and communication over the years, Mark began venturing into web development in 2006. Currently, he finds himself in the thick of the Digital Media whirlwind as the Technical Director at BNOTIONS.

Able to convey technical matters using familiar terms and contexts, Mark has been successful at helping beginners wrap their heads around core web development practices. As a frequent guest lecturer at Seneca College and contributer and lecturer for PHUG - Open Source Culture, Mark has assisted novices in developing a strong understanding, allowing them to approach web development with confidence.
