Born and raised in Houston, Texas. Marc found himself in Texas prison at the age of 22. He started reading books and he wanted to share what he was learning with his son (who he was watching growing up in the visitation room) Thus his writing career began. He wrote Thanks To Prison not only for his son but for a whole generation who lost their parents to the U.S. Penal system. He is the driving force behind the URBAN MIND DEVELOPMENT movement. He conducts regular seminars for parolees, entrepreneurs, and at-risk youth.
