Marlon grew up on a family farm, where he gained hands-on experience in farming, machinery, and construction. After graduating high school in Lucky Lake, he worked as a light-duty mechanic, studied machining at SIAST, and spent time as a machinist before moving into firefighting and emergency services. After years in that field, he operated a grader in his hometown before relocating to the Prince Albert area to be closer to his kids. In the spring of 2024, he joined Cornerstone Insurance.
Outside of work, Marlon enjoys spending time with his two kids and partner, Stephanie. He’s passionate about outdoor activities like hiking, backpacking, canoeing, kayaking, hunting, and mountain biking, but also appreciates quiet moments with a good book and a cup of coffee or tea. He thrives on the adventure and variety of life.
