Marcus has an unmatched journalistic style which dives into pertinent topics other journalists neglect. His production value of recorded material cannot be measured, as his caring, detail-oriented nature gave me and my team an incredible product. I have been interviewed a thousand times over, but I could not imagine anyone else I would rather work with. It has been an absolute pleasure to stand alongside Marcus for the many years during my charitable journey.

When we worked together on the Midday hour on the Cameron Kravitt Foundation I was impressed by Marcus’ combination of professionalism with empathy. He has a rare combination of brains and heart. Never let it go!

I appreciate the experience, expertise, and professionalism Marcus brought to Allegheny College’s Gator Days. It gave me great pleasure to hear how engaged the students were and to see them eagerly taking notes during Marcus’ presentation.

Marcus has a keen eye for what makes a good story. He approaches projects with intelligence and integrity, balancing these qualities with the skills to produce a strong journalistic product across mediums including radio, print, television and online. His breadth of experience and enthusiasm for his work make Marcus an asset to any organization.

“Producing 5 hours of audio content per week is a daunting task for any operation, much less a small team that has to do a lot with a little. For years, Marcus has not just been keeping pace with the award-winning Essential Pittsburgh’s demanding schedule, but has made the show’s regular content both thought-provoking and vital to the local community. He’s the type of guy who is simply able to ‘make it happen’ no matter what is asked of him (or what he demands from himself). He also shines when acting as a mentor to younger producers, teaching them the tricks of the trade and helping them have confidence in their abilities as radio-makers. All-around he is a great asset.”

“Marcus is an enthusiastic producer and has a keen ear for a good story; his stories are a joy to listen to. It was a pleasure working with him at WESA 90.5 FM in Pittsburgh, where he worked with a colleague and I to produce short pieces for Essential Pittsburgh. His “can-do” attitude, paired with his smart, constructive feedback results in quality stories.”

Daniel Tkacik – Communications Manager, CMU College of Engineering

I worked with Marcus during his tenure as a producer in Baltimore. He has a great list of contacts to work from and was always able to quick turn a topic for radio and fill the time slots with interesting people on short notice. His easy going way helped to forge relationships with show guests who always responded positively to his calls. He’s a pro, and a nice guy!
