Marc GarsideMarc Garside

Marc earned a bachelor’s degree in Public Relations from Susquehanna University.  He has worked in youth behavioral corrections for three years as a Youth Social Services worker, a Case Manager, and the Intensive Secure Unit Supervisor for Northwestern Human Services, Northwestern Academy.  Marc began working at the CILNCP in March of 2009 as the Independent Living and Specialized Services Coordinator. 

Having a mother with Essential Tremors, and a best friend with Cerebral Palsy, Marc has a passion for helping people with disabilities become as independent as possible.  He hopes that while working for the CILNCP, he is able to reach out beyond his personal means to make a positive impact in people’s lives.

Aside from a growing career in Human Services, Marc is also a youth advocate and a musician.  Outside of work he has taught the Shikellamy High School Marching Braves percussion section for six years, and he now teaches the Williamsport High School Marching Millionaires percussion section.  Marc was a member of the 2002 Capital Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps and the World Champion 2003 Hawthorne Caballeros Drum and Bugle Corps.  Marc is currently a member of the 2009 Hawthorne Caballeros, along with 11 of his students from Shikellamy and Williamsport High Schools.

 “My greatest accomplishment is watching students I have taught in high school grow into musicians far greater than I ever will be.  I’m proud that I have been able to inspire that kind of hunger and passion for excellence in others.  I am happy just to get these kids off the streets and away from the TV’s, but to see some of them excel the way they are, I’m very proud of that.”

Marc spends as much of his limited free time as possible with his fiancé.  Whether it’s going on a motorcycle ride or doing dishes, he enjoys every minute spent with her and he can’t wait to be married to her.
