Marcus Girard

Marcus comes from a large family where he is the middle child of three older brothers and three younger sisters. Marcus is married to Cecelia Girard and they have six wonderful children together.

As a youth, Marcus grew up in a high risk, hard core inner city environment in Brooklyn, New York. Marcus lost many of his friends to drugs, gangs, guns and violence. As a youngster, Marcus was determined that one day, he would find a way to help people overcome the negative circumstances and difficulty factors that are a natural part of everyone’s lives.

He has authored thirteen books on Marriage and Male Female Relationships, and he recorded dozens of motivational CD’s.
