Marshall was a proud veteran of The United States Marine Corps, having served ten years. Following his service in the Marines, Marshall was an entrepreneur, owning a variety of successful retail businesses in Washington, DC and Baltimore City. Originally from The Bronx, New York, “Zayde” eventually betrayed his childhood Yankees for his beloved Orioles.
