Marsden Jr. joined the army two weeks after turning seventeen in 1978. He started a family in 1980, navigated a military career, and helped raise a family of four children, with multiple assignments throughout the world. He turned eighteen in Korea and fifty in Afghanistan. He was kicked out of high school in the eleventh grade and now has an AA in liberal arts, a BS in accounting, and an MBA with a GPA of 3.97. He was part of a four-man team that set a world record in bench pressing back in 1987 and worked as a civilian in organizations, ranging from building liftgates and machines that drove out of the plant and cut down trees to making lip balms and moisturizers and finally bar grating.view less
