Marc D. Thompson delved into writing and researching at a very early age. As a youngster he wrote stories, poems, lyrics and articles. Marc continued putting pen to paper and studying genealogy throughout college, earning a B.S. degree from Moravian College. He has presented genealogical lectures and authored numerous family histories for himself and his clients. Marc's other published works include Compendium of Virtual and Traditional Fitness, The Fitness Book of Lists, Virtual Personal Training Manual, Fitness Quotes of Humorous Inspiration and Poems of Eternal Moments.

He believes in Creatalytical Thinking: the fusion of creativity and analysis to view life more fully and fulfill his place in this world. Writing now for over four decades, Marc has been influenced by history, science, art and relationships, and marvels at the cosmically-driven direction he receives each day from energy around him to record his ideas and research.
