Marco grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. After graduating from Kent State University, he started to work in 3D animation and game design. After a few years of working in that field, he was introduced to the concept of professional dog training. Soon after, Marco packed his bags and moved to Atlanta to start training and saving dogs full time. In his free time, Marco writes and records music, hikes different trails, and hangs out with his own dogs, Bosco, Forrest and Enzo.
