Outside of work, Marc is an avid sports enthusiast who enjoys basketball, pickleball, skiing, and golf. Fun fact—he became a proud member of the “1,000 lb club,” even while skipping leg day!

Marc also stays involved in the industry outside of Harris as an active member of APWA, serving on the PWX Committee.

Why Harris?

Harris is family. I was brought in as an intern and from the first day, I felt that our team cared not just about the projects we were working on, but on developing a learning and supportive culture. Harris has given me the opportunity to pursue the goals I’ve set for myself, no matter how big or small.
