Dr. Magner earned his BA with cum laude and University Honors with Distinction from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and his medical degree from the University of Cincinnati as a Neuroscience Pathway Scholar in 2009. He furthered his training with both a neurosurgery residency and neurocritical care enfolded fellowship at the University of Cincinnati and has been an attending neurosurgeon since 2015.

Mark is married to Kristin Magner, MD, a board-certified OB/GYN whom he met in medical school. They have three small children and chose Denver for the family-friendly, outdoorsy lifestyle found in Colorado. During the winter, they like to ski as a family; and during the summer, they like boating and tubing on Horsetooth Reservoir.
