Strength Sports

After training with "The Unit" for a year, Marshall applied for a job which would place him in Port Angeles, Washington.

He initially trained at "Marunde Muscle" with World's Strongest Man competitor, the late Jesse Marunde.

Marshall earned his pro card in 2006, and competed in the 2006 ASC Nationals, finishing in 7th place overall.

Marshall was training with Jacob Miskimens in their own facility in Washington when he purchased a funeral home in Pagosa Springs, Co. He made the move to Colorado on March, 2009 and is currently training on his own.

For 2008, Marshall was invited to compete in the World's Strongest Man Super Series, which is a qualifying tour for the World's Strongest Man Competition.

In January 2009, Marshall competed in the Fit Expo in Pasadena, California finishing in 4th place overall.

On July 4, 2009 Marshall recorded his biggest win to date, a victory at the Strongman Super Series Bucharest contest, defeating Nick Best, Brian Shaw and Johannes Arsjo.

This victory qualified Marshall for the 2009 World's Strongest Man contest in Valletta, Malta. Marshall competed in the qualifying heats but failed to qualify for the finals.
