Marv graduated from Redondo Beach Union High School 1951 and attended El Camino College receiving his AA degree in 1953. Marvell was called to serve an LDS Mission to the Mexican Mission. He served faithfully from October 1953 to April 1956.
After his LDS mission, Marv attended Brigham Young University, where he graduated in 1959 with a BS degree. He later earned his MBA from Pepperdine College. Marv Married Louise Cluff in the Los Angeles Temple and they had eight children.
