Newie & Mark Brinker

A native of New York, Dr. Brinker received his Bachelors of Arts degree from Tulane University in New Orleans and his Medical Doctorate from Tulane University.  Based in Houston since 1993, the 47-year-old Brinker is a top-notch orthopedic surgeon, specializing in trauma, acute injury, and reconstructive repair.  He holds active staff appointments at Texas Orthopedic Hospital and Hermann Hospital.

A true renaissance man, Mark is a collector and racer of vintage cars from the 1950s.  Additionally, he has co-authored an authoritative book about those autos and writes a monthly column for the magazine Vintage Racecar Journal.

And in his spare time he's an avid movie buff.  Mark is co-screenwriter of Untraceable, the moody cyber-thriller starring Diane Lane.  Better still, he and writing partner Robert Fyvolent have already signed for their next project:  They're adapting Fatal Frame, a popular video game, into a horror flick for DreamWorks Pictures.

In memory of Mark's sister Marjorie, Mark, along with his wife Newie, is chairing the 3rd annual BASH - A Halloween Happening.  In the past two years, they have raised over $300,000 to provide services in the Houston community to children and adults with disabilities.  Easter Seals Greater Houston is thrilled to have this dynamic duo on their team!
