Given a trumpet at an early age, Marshall fell in love with music and the instrument itself. He has dedicated the majority of his life to the art of music and continues to do so through performing and teaching the craft he loves so much.

After five years as a performer, he began teaching the Corps in 2008, and is still an active staff member with the Corps. Along with teaching the Drum Corps, Marshall also works with the Nation Ford High School band as well as teach privately.

 Marshall received his Bachelor's degree in Music Performance from Winthrop University. While there, he studied with Dr. Ian Pearson and Dr. Mark Dulin. He is also currently a member of the Carolina Olde English Wind Ensemble, affiliated with Winthrop University. Marshall is also a member of Pi Kappa Lambda National Music Honor Society.
