Mark Marinbach was born in Brooklyn, NY on February 14th (St. Valentine's Day), 1940 where he grew up and attended Brooklyn Tech and then Midwood High School. He then went to the University of Buffalo for 2 years and while attending Long Island University, got a part time job in a dental laboratory. He liked what he saw in the lab and he quit L.I.U. to attend the New York School of Mechanical Dentistry.

Mark finished the requirements of the 1000-hour course in 4 months and left the school with the knowledge, not the diploma. He got a job as an apprentice technician in the Brooklyn laboratory where he had worked as a messenger. Long hours and hard work were Mark's life 6 days a week.

After several years as a technician, he began a successful career in sales and public relations for the laboratory he worked at. He became close friends with his boss and mentor, Robert Wallace, and when they weren't working together, they were fishing on Bob's boat.

In 1963 he met and fell in love with his beautiful wife Susan. They have a wonderful son Eric, who works at Nu-Life with his father. Susan teaches Home and Career Skills in a middle school and in her "spare" time helps Mark as a gracious hostess at business and social events.

Mark went into his own business, Nu-Life Long Island, in 1973 with a 50% partner. In 1998 he bought out his partner and is now the sole owner. Mark is still to be found working in the office of the laboratory by 6:30 every morning and when he finishes his work, he attends dental study club meetings in the evenings.

Mark Marinbach has become a popular lecturer speaking on different aspects of dental prosthetics centered mainly on implants. He has spoken locally, nationally and internationally at dental study clubs, conventions, seminars, universities and special events. He is very honored to be on the faculty of the prestigious Misch International Implant Institute, where he can be found a dozen weekends a year.

He loves to go to dental lectures pursuing several hundred hours of continuing education each year, and also attends many major dental conventions as well as implant and cosmetic specialty meetings.

When he has spare time, he loves to work in his vegetable garden. Photography and cuff link collecting are other hobbies that he enjoys.
