BRINGING A LIFE’S WORTH OF EXPERIENCE

Marc’s first steps into entrepreneurship began at the age of eleven as a victim of relentless bullying. By painting Dungeons and Dragons figurines for fellow students, Marc learned how people’s behaviour and attitudes can change if they see value in what others can provide. This was a lesson he would remember throughout his career.

At the age of 16, Marc was back in business for himself. Over the next 8 years he would be importing collectible model cars, have his own clothing line, and even end up selling lingerie to escorts and exotic dancers. During that time, he would see his businesses grow faster than he could handle, stumble due to economic conditions, or get squeezed out by aggressive competitors.

In 1994, unemployed and with no job prospects, Marc invested $2,500 in a gold plating machine and started GoldPro. In that first year, operating out of his parent’s basement, sales totaled just $4,000.

However, by 2000, the company had grown to a multi million dollar manufacturer and distributor of automotive equipment and accessories, servicing over 2,400 car dealers and body shops across Canada.

In 2003, after emotional and physical burnout, Marc sold GoldPro for seven figures. Owning virtually no inventory or capital equipment, the high value of his company was based on GoldPro’s name, distribution network, brands, and web presence. This was a testament to Marc’s skills as a marketer and his ability to build a loyal customer base.

After taking a year off, Marc started his own agency to provide the kind of marketing and consulting services he wished were available to him when he was starting out.

Marc’s agency specialises in developing and executing marketing programs for companies ranging from startups to public companies. Services include web design, print production, promotional campaigns, and public relations.

Marc is an active participant and volunteer in several organisations and educational symposiums that provide free marketing tools and management experience to new entrepreneurs. Marc is also active in youth business groups such as DECA, providing mentoring services and judging competitions.

Marc lives in Toronto with his wife Natalie and children, Allison and Blake.
