With 31 years of broadcast experience, he has worked at stations in San Antonio, followed by reporting and anchoring stints in San Francisco, Denver, Atlanta, Charlotte, North Carolina, New Orleans, and Champaign, Illinois.
The son of a Navy officer, Marsh said his military childhood prepared him for the many moves necessitated by a career in TV news.
While a reporter in Atlanta, Marsh covered the case of Roy Moody, who carried out a series of mail bombings against the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the federal judicial system in 1989. He is mentioned in Mark Winne's book about the case, "Priority Mail: The Investigation and Trial of a Mail Bomber Obsessed With Destroying Our Justice System."
