pro Race driver
// The Story
“I am proud to be the only professional race driver born and residing in West Michigan. Born in Grand Rapids, MI and while my love for racing started while living in Virginia for some of my childhood, I really began focusing on it more after returning to West Michigan at 15 years old.
I found myself living in the small town of Zeeland, MI, in between Holland and Grand Rapids. Graduating from Zeeland before moving to Kalamazoo to attend Western Michigan University.
While most racers live in Charlotte, Indianapolis or Florida, I have really created roots in West Michigan for myself and my family. Living in Holland especially exposes us to the beauty of Lake Michigan and the gorgeous surrounding sandy beaches and dunes, amazing sunsets and countless activities.
As I travel often, when I return from travel, I spend little time sitting. But more time exploring beaches & parks with my family and we still have yet to even scratch the surface of what Pure Michigan has to offer. I can only hope my kids appreciate their home as much as I have realized I do. We try to take in every kayaking, biking, fishing, boating, or bonfire evening we can make happen.”
Marc is married to Tabitha, and together they raise 3 children.
