After separating from the Army in 2005, he spent 20 years with the Charleston Police Department, working in Team 4 (West Ashley), Harbor Patrol, and Team 2 (Downtown), retiring on July 15, 2020. He founded Behind the Wheel Driving School one year after joining 843 Let's Drive, bringing 25 years of combined law enforcement and military leadership experience to his instruction. Marc teaches with patience and hands-on training, with a goal of building confidence in new drivers.
