Born February 8, 1957 in Augusta, Georgia, Mr. Marks’ childhood was spent in Augusta and Atlanta before the family settled at their farm in Edgefield, South Carolina.

Mr. Marks served his community as Chairman of the Augusta Aviation Commission, events marshal for the Boshear’s Annual Fly-In, and as a member of the Rotary Club.
