At age eight, Marc founded his first company - a ghost removal and cleaning service. He had his first press at nine when he organized a break dancing competition as entertainment for senior citizens. Several years later, he graduated from Indiana University with degrees in Marketing and Microeconomics. Afterwards, Marc traveled overseas, shearing sheep and rejecting offers to start various carpet businesses in Morocco. After his return to the US, he attended The San Francisco Art Institute. Upon graduation, he completed several groundbreaking social experiments: the Errand Feasibility Study, which included running errands atop a pack mule; a fog removal initiative for the Golden Gate Bridge; a Swiss Army Cubicle; and the first ever Human Video Game Experiment.
One of Marc’s most memorable experiments happened during a photo shoot when he wrote “Dinner w/ Marc 510-872-7326” (his name and REAL cell phone number) on a dry-erase board featured in a home office shot for a Crate & Barrel catalog. This stunt not only got him fired, but it landed him on The Today Show and dozens of other programs and publications. Receiving over 30,000 calls, Marc embarked on a Trans-America journey to meet with as many people for dinner as possible calling it “National Dinner Tour.” Consequently, People Magazine named him one of the 50 Most Eligible Bachelors.
Marc was recently named one of the 50 Most Creative Voices on The Web by Dazed & Confused Magazine. He was the spokesperson for Nissan during their 2.0 Sentra Brand launch.
Marc continues his “social research” from his Los Angeles laboratory. He likes to play with M-80s and is known to fall asleep during movies. Marc’s work can be seen at www.ineedtostopsoon.com.
