Education and Experience
Marcus’s primary education was in classical music, having attended Performing Arts High School, Juilliard School of Music, and Mannes College of Music in New York City. He moved to Washington in 1979, where he took a job with the School of Fisheries Publications Office and essentially has remained in that capacity ever since. As of April 2007, Marcus also works half time for Washington Sea Grant. Marcus’s continuing education includes several courses designed to meet new work demands: a year in scientific and technical writing through the College of Engineering's Scientific & Technical Communications program, and another year earning a certificate in Internet Programming through the UW Information School, as well as various workshops and conferences.
In his spare time, Marcus enjoys music, hiking, kayaking, cooking and sampling red wines from Spain and Portugal.
