USAF, in both California and Germany. Shortly after being discharged
from the Air Force, returned and resided as an "Ex-Pat" in Wiesbaden,
FRG, playing music in a few bands on the club circuit in Germany, until
the end of 1985.
However, it was another five years before returning to the stage in; I Never Sang for My Father. In Baltimore, Bernier spent the better part of a decade on the stage, delivering solid stage work in AXIS Theatre's; Angels in America, Love!Valour! Compassion! & God's Country.
Though not the only stage in Baltimore where Bernier worked, but his "heart" will always be with AXIS Theatre and Brian Klaas(Artistc Director) and Jon Lipitz(Managing Director), with whom Bernier joined in producing 10 seasons of some of the most artistically fulfilling theatre in his career to date.
In television, Bernier guest-starred in Cold Case on CBS; in Homicide: Life on the Street, on NBC; on Las Vegas, for NBC, & the Book Shop Merchant on Alias, for ABC in the episode; I See Dead People. M.F. has also enjoyed various leading and supporting roles in both indie films and major motion pictures, including the leading role opposite Jennifer Fontaine, in their collaborative work, The Last Time We Were... and though her scenes were cut from the final edit, but has unequivocally stated; that working with David Fincher on Zodiac, was just about the coolest job he's ever done, and what Bernier got from watching David direct would inspire him to finish writing Glass Houses. ***(Glass Houses - the novel adaptation from the screenplay is well underway and should be available by early 2023)
With their first collaboration on the gripping short; The Last Time We Were..., Bernier's, Jackie Frost Films and Fontaine's, Scorpio Rising Films, garnered a Silver Remi at WorldFest/Houston 2006.
Bernier is also eternally grateful to Suzie, for her continued encouragement and belief in "the dream".
