Marcus spent several years in college admissions, first assisting then leading campus-wide efforts to diversify two selective liberal arts colleges in the Midwest.

Marcus completed the Experiential Program for Preparing School Principals at Butler University. The Tindley Schools are among the most successful in Indiana, and EdPower's Turnaround School Academy is making significant academic progress. In addition to his work at EdPower, he is a consultant on issues concerning school reform, school culture, and school administration. Marcus is a native of St. Louis, Missouri, and he holds degrees from both DePauw University (Greencastle, Indiana) and Butler University (Indianapolis, Indiana).
