Marquis Burton was born in East St.Louis, Illinois in 1978. Growing up he had to learn how to grind in the streets to survive. Having only a 9th grade education and his first case by the age of 16, grinding seemed the only option and he excelled. Experiencing many of his friends and family being incarcerated or layed to rest and having close encounters with both personally; he realized, there has to be another way. With an entrepreneur-like mentality already he set out to turn his "grind" into a hustle.  Today Marquis is a published author with an array of other companies in his portfolio. Going from a convicted 16 year old to a successful buisness man, Marquis is the epitamy of the term "anything is possible".
