          In his desire to support his community, in 1995 Marcus became one of the founding members of the Top of Virginia Search and Rescue Group based in Winchester, Virginia.  After several searches he realized he wanted to concentrate his SAR efforts in the specialized field of human tracking and went through the Virginia Department of Emergency Management’s (VDEM) tracking certification process.  Marcus took his first JHPTS class in 1995 sponsored by VDEM.  Realizing the importance and validity of the program, he has been a proponent of JHPTS ever since.  He has participated in several SAR missions in support of VDEM’s efforts. 

          Having worked 23 years for the County of Frederick as a GIS manager and IT Director, he and a fellow JHPTS tracker n- Steve Frye established a rapport with the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office and worked as a team in providing tracking evidence and resolution in criminal cases involving bank robbery, gangs, breaking and entering, domestic violence, missing persons and evidence recovery.  Marcus currently fulfils the JHPTS position of Lead Tracker in Virginia and has worked with several other JHPTS certified trackers in creating a new tracking corporation in Virginia, Tracking Resources-Atlantic Coast (TRAC), focusing on the JHPTS methodology of training and operations.

          Currently, Marcus continues as an Instructor for JHPTS and TRAC, and is a civilian tracking member of the Frederick County Virginia Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue Team.
