“I grew up around pick-up trucks and concrete guys,” he explains.
Marlon liked construction and respected the work, but he was eager to understand the business side of it. After earning his degree in building construction management from the University of North Florida, he gained experience in Orlando before a business venture relocated him to Savannah. It didn’t pan out as expected, but he did meet Yash Desai, who recognized his drive and knowledge and made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.
Marlon now spends his time on two main functions. He works on current and potential projects, assessing aspects of the deal and the highest and best use of the land to be developed. With his extensive construction experience, he is also leading the effort to keep some general contracting under in-house control. Given his first two years at Stature, Marlon is optimistic about the future.
“I want to grow and take on new challenges. Longevity means everything. I love doing what I do.”
Marlon is a devoted father who spends his free time with his two sons, usually playing sports.
