I then attended The Ohio State University College of Law and graduated with honors in 1989. I married my wife Terri in 1991, and we have a daughter, Grace, who is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in clinical psychology in Chicago.

Marvin Foster

Marvin Foster's story is rooted in perseverance, community, and service. After moving to Talbot County from Belle Glade, Florida in 1995 as a teenager searching for direction, Marvin found more than just a place to live — he found a community that helped shape his future. The mentors, opportunities, and relationships he built throughout Talbot County helped guide him into the man, father, mentor, and leader he is today.
