Mark Ryall recently retired from teaching economics at Hillfield Strathallan College, Hamilton.

The science fiction novel "Age-Decoded" (published March 2021) is Mark's first book. He wrote it to educate himself and the world about the imminent tsunami of genetic engineering technology and its potential impact on mortality and humanity.

Mark's second book, "Run Daughter, Run Father" (published September 2022) is an autobiographical account of the distance running ventures shared by him and his daughter Stephanie. It is loaded with exercise science, training insights, and humorous stories that will appeal to younger and older competitive runners.

Mark represented Canada in the ITU World Triathlon Championships in 2017, 2019, and 2023. He is an avid golfer and snooker player. His education includes a BSc, MBA, and Ph.D.
