After high school, Marc attended Coastal Carolina for a year, after which he transferred to Stony Brook University of the America East Conference.

He is currently 5th on the all-time appearances list, and was a member of the school’s 2008 Conference Championship team, which made it to the NCAA Regional’s that year. In 2009, he was named a team captain, and his best performance came against Fordham University, where he racked up 10 strikeouts in 5 innings.

On top of giving lessons, Marc coached Downingtown’s 14U Middle School Team. When asked about giving lessons and coaching, Marc said “The most enjoyable part about giving baseball instruction is seeing/hearing the player(s) not only grasp the concepts but consistently utilize them. They quickly understand that what is being taught is tremendously practical in their everyday game.”
