Marcus came to Windhorse by a winding road with many surprising turns. Growing up in Colorado, he fell in love with the Pacific Northwest while earning his undergraduate in Behavioral Science. He then served as a minister for 29 years, developing a deep compassion for families in crisis. His interest in contemplative practices eventually led him to become an ordained Anglican priest. This background opened doors for a new career in mental health where Marcus helped families navigate the system as an Outreach Representative. He felt a deep affinity for Windhorse when he connected with them in 2023 and was hired as the National Director of Outreach and Admissions in 2024.

Marcus enjoys exploring Oregon with his wife and gatherings with his children who are scattered in the Western United States. Marcus seeks opportunities to be immersed in ocean, forest and mountains. He loves to write and perform songs about the questions and delights he encounters on his way.
