Born and raised in the Southeast, Marcus graduated from MIT (BS, Urban Studies & Planning) and Wheaton College (MA, Interdisciplinary Studies). He lived and worked on Chicago’s Westside for 20 years before returning to his roots. He has served in various capacities, including as Technology Center Director, Community Organizer, Interim Executive Director, Director of Mentoring, New Communities Program Director, Dean of Restorative Justice, Executive Director of Operations, and currently as Program Manager for ReCAST Lawrenceville. While he has been leading, teaching, and building community for over 30 years, Marcus’ greatest joy is leading his family.

In addition, we’ll honor a representative from Rainbow Village, a finalist in our TopGolf Fundraising Event Grant initiative.
