Marcoux spent much of his life traveling and living in different countries which helped fuel his interest in cooking. As a child, he spent time in the British Virgin Islands and lived on St. Thomas.

It was when he went to Italy as a teenager that he began to think seriously about becoming a chef. He later traveled to Australia where he visited vineyards and farms which gave him a deeper understanding about the correlation between food and wine. He is a graduate of Johnson & Wales and lives in Worcester with his wife and children.
