Marco has been involved in acting and background work since 1994. He's always had a passion for the camera and he first started speaking in front of large audiences at the age of 10; it was then that he realized the impact that words can have. Since then, He's been involved with a number of organizations as a spokesperson, helping to spread advocacy for persons with disabilities across Canada, and proving that anything is possible when you invest the right kind of energy and creativity. After graduating from the Art Institute of Vancouver, he built his own brand as an Inspirational Speaker, and has graced the stage at TEDx, The United Way, and The Duke Of Edinburgh Awards. In 2013, he was named “Entrepreneur of the Year” by the Self-Employment and Entrepreneur Development Society and was recognized in 2016 as a “Paul Harris Fellow” by Rotary International. Other nominations include BC Businesses' Top 30 under 30 award, Notable.ca‘s award in Personal Branding and Coast Mental Health’s Courage to Come Back Award in the category of Rehabilitation.
Advocating for universal design and inclusion is among his passions. This work has led him to consult with municipalities & business leaders on inclusive employment strategies for people with disabilities, including the Province of BC's employment advisory committee the Presidents Group.
