Born and raised in the blue-collar, working-class town of Fall River, Massachusetts, Marc learned the importance of hard work and dedication at an early age. Involved in sports since he was six, Marc excelled in baseball, basketball and in particular football.

His passion and drive on the gridiron throughout his high school career served notice to college scouts that Marc was the real deal when it came to the game. Marc received a scholarship to a Division 1 school and later earned such prestigious titles as 3-time Conference All Star and 2-time All-American. Once college ended, Marc went on to a successful career playing professional football.

Marc now works as a personal trainer and CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist) in Miami Beach, FL. His time in professional sports served him well and educated him on the importance of proper training as he now trains a long list of clients – from fitness enthusiasts to professional athletes and celebrities.
