Marcus was a happy entertaining curious original kid. Sometimes original kids made in a mold of their own don't fit into the high school culture all that well. He wasn't a star athlete, but he played lacrosse and soccer and loved every sport. As editor of the high school newspaper, he began to find his own place--a curious observer, a love of life and people.
When he went to VCU, he was determined to find his people--and he did! He walked into the radio station and the newspaper office and asked for jobs--and got them. He has the voice and the knowledge of all things sports, so he makes a great interviewer and sportscaster.
Last week, he and his brother Jackson (who works in Richmond while Marcus is working on his degree) went out to lunch with a long table filled with Marcus' friends and girlfriend. Jackson surveyed the table and asked Marcus, "Did you ever think you'd have a life like this, a million friends and dating a basketball star?"
"Sure, I always knew I'd have an amazing life!" Marcus said.
Here are a few recent shots of Marcus having an amazing life:

When he was a little boy, he said he was going to "live with his momma" his whole life, but now his horizons are limitless! This kid is going places with p-zazz! Even if he weren't my grandson, I'd want to know this super-cool man.
