The family moved to Boise, Idaho in 1937. Marvin attended Boise High School before enlisting in the Navy. He served from July of 1948 to July of 1949 and then was recalled in 1950 at the start of the Korean War. He would serve most of the next three years on an Aircraft Carrier that took him all over the world. When he was discharged in 1953, he returned to Boise and began working as a dental technician.
