Born in Monticello, NY on August 4th 1934, he was a true renaissance man, visionary, and pioneer. As an advocate for social justice, he began his career as a political and crime reporter. He later founded 3 companies including Marcon Communications, which he took public in 1969, and Marcon Capital, an SBIC.
