During his childhood, he was into sports like football and baseball. In 1982, he graduated from Serra High School in San Diego.

In Hemet, Marcus finally got to live in the same city as his parents and siblings for the first time since childhood. In 2009, Marcus began working at Walmart where he gained strong friendships that became more like family.
