Marlon was simply fascinated by the buttons and lights in the cockpit of an aeroplane when was given a chance to see inside the cockpit of the plane after he boarded a flight for the first time he was flying from Jamaica to Miami with his mother and he was so excited. He decided on that day that he wanted to be an airline pilot.

His mother encouraged him and helped him in every way she could until he passed his exam and left home his home town, Buff Bay, Portland a rural community to attend high school in Kingston the biggest city in Jamaica.

After that he school and universities in Florida, USA. He managed to get scholarships and grants, got his degree and started flying at age 19.
