DID YOU KNOW?...
Marvin says "Born and raised a Texan, married 3 times with 4 kids (2boys and 2 girls) and 2 grandkids. Growing up in Texas, I started racing dirt bikes at the age 10 and by the time I was 16 started racing cars at the local tracks. On the weekends that I wasn't racing, I was in a rodeo somewhere. After high school, I attended college for a year then joined the Army. After 21 yrs, retired from the Army and have been a contractor for the last 5 yrs. During my time in the military I managed to complete 2 degrees and traveled all over the world."
