A Long Time Coming!

Like all young men and women at some point in their life we dream up what we are going to be when we grow up.  Some of us move on to the careers of our choice.  Others like me, drempt of someday owning their own business.  Being their own boss.  And then there is the odd one who never seems to grow up!

I recall as a young boy dreaming of my own pizza stand just down from my parents house.  The  place where my grandparents ( John and Jessie Clarke), had their vegetable cedar to.  I had it all figured out in my mind.  The building was to be about 8 feet by 8 feet in size and I would perpare my pizzas and chicken and chips for all my great customers.  But this was all in my head.  Looking back at it now, it was my first of many to come business ideas.

Then, I grew up and finished high school and continued my education into the college system.  Resume after resume, small job after small job, jack of all trades but master of none, I managed to keep the wolf away from the door.

Later in life, I married my best friend, Debbie.  Her support with my business ideas was slow at first, but she could see the potential in me.  Joining my side, she has been there picking me up when I fell down.  I love her very much for supporting me in all of our ups and downs. 

And then one day it all came to me.  Here I am in my middle 40′s with a background in computers, a background in bookkeeping, a background in office and administration as well as a background in customer service and retail… why not!  Why not take all this and put it under one roof.

Marsh Virtual Office & Associates is a combination of years of experience and education all into one business venture.  It is a combination of three business ideas, bookkeeping, administration and computers.  Through hard work, long hours but most important with the support of my wife, Debbie and my three girls, it is all coming together, slowly but surely.
