Marcus Armani is a father, author and follower of hope. The son of a deliveryman and a shoe factory worker, faith fed his creativity and poverty, his determination.
His adult life began as a homeless teen with a need no addiction could fill. When he hit rock bottom, Marcus decided to face his fear and reach out for help.
Through faith, and a childhood dream of writing, Marcus found his past had prepared him to be an advocate of the second chance.
To honor his parents, Marcus is a first generation graduate, with an MFA from Lindenwood University.
His debut book, Whiteflies, is one of twelve modern fables. And, his novel, Finding Younger, reveals his struggle to save him from himself.
Marcus is the creator of Praytopia, and founder of Cafe Hope. When he's not speaking you'll find Marcus serving others every day.
