He also previously served as a Circuit Court Probation Officer for the Oakland County Circuit Court in Pontiac, Michigan from 1970 to 1976. Originally planning to become a police officer after college, Mr. Marsh was required to change his career path as he suffered from white coat hypertension, choosing corrections as an alternative.
Upon becoming chief in Nevada, Mr. Marsh was responsible for establishing the first pretrial services agency in the Federal district of Nevada. When a person was arrested on a Federal offense his office would interview the defendant and assist the court in determining if they should be released or detained pending disposition in their case. If released, his office would supervise the defendant for the court until resolution of the case. Selected from 79 other applicants, at only 37 years old Mr. Marsh became one of the youngest chiefs in the Federal Court System. During his career spanning almost 35 years, he was also responsible for negotiating the first union contract with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees in 1975 with Oakland County. Furthermore, he was nominated for the prestigious Director's Award with the United States Courts in 1993.
Previously he served as a regional representative for the Chief's Management Council, chairman of the Pretrial Services Committee, and co-chairman of the Pretrial Services Supervision Task Force, all in Washington, D.C. Most recently, he volunteered as a mediator for Clark County's Neighborhood Justice Center, President of Board of Directors for Ardiente Homeowners' Association and the Ann-Losee Homeowners' Association. Mr. Marsh also served on the Board of Directors of the Tanglewood Homeowners' Association, President of the Bonanza High School Football Booster Club, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Help Center Drug Program, and President of the Oakland County Corrections Association.
Mr. Marsh earned a Bachelor of Science in police administration at Michigan State University in 1969 and a Master of Arts in sociology at the University of Detroit, with a certificate in correctional science in 1974. Inspired by his career to write, Mr. Marsh authored and co-authored several articles.
Mr. Marsh is currently working on his first book, titled "In Service of the Court," which will be based on his career.
