Theo Marshall was born and raised in and around Chicago, Illinois. As a
young boy Theo moved often and attended several schools. Having grown
up in a blue collar family and living in lower income neighborhoods in
the shadows of Al Capone's old haunts, Theo was drawn to escape through
sports and film. Moving and changing schools and neighborhoods allowed
Theo to develop and learn to adapt and blend into any situation and
role. After a turbulent high school journey both in and outside of the
classroom, Theo would eventually be the first in his family to attend
college receiving a Bachelors Degree In Recreation, Parks, and Tourism,
while also playing and earning a letter in N.C.A.A. College Football
for Western Illinois University.

Campaign and Education, while also building a community recourse center in Kaleo, Ghana: West Africa That amazing experience would forever change his life.
