Mark Marshall moved to Nashville in 1977 from his home state of West Virginia. He has worked mostly as a career coach where he has gotten to hear and share stories with thousands of people from every conceivable walk of life. He now works in private practice and as a career coach at UpRise Nashville. He’s also a member of The River Writers. Much of his writing draws upon how growing up in Richwood, West Virginia, a small lumber and mining town deep in the West Virginia mountains, has shaped his life.
