By profession, the man is a long-distance truck driver and crane operator, and for some time he also worked as a taxi driver.

At the beginning of the war, in 2022, Mark lived in Mozyr.

Besides his work, Mark assisted the Simuran search and rescue team, coordinating searches and organizing transportation. He participated in dozens of search operations.

At the turn of 2022/2023, Mark went to work driving trucks in the United States, but later returned to Belarus. In the fall of 2025, due to a deteriorating cargo transportation situation, he took up driving a for-hire taxi in Baranovichi. He returned to the industry after a five-year hiatus.
