After completing high school, Marcus decided not to pursue higher education and went straight to the Air Force, and, when enlisted, the Air Force moved Marcus out to San Antonio TX where he began expanding his social and professional network and diversifying his business pursuits post military. He established his foot print in San Antonio as he became close with club owners and promoters, developing a network in the industry while in the middle of his military career.
While still settling in to San Antonio, Marcus Allen was informed that the Air Force was deploying him to Qatar for 7 months. Up until this point in time he had already begun an interest in photography working with friends at clubs. Marcus packed his personal camera for Qatar.

Marcus finished his military career after six years, and he immediately moved back to San Antonio.

He went to school to become a surgical technologist at CHCP San Antonio. Upon graduation, Marcus took a job at Baptist Medical Center performing orthopedic surgeries. He worked there for a year while at the same time perfecting his photography skills and began looking for business in photography.
He started a promotion and photography business for local clubs in Florida and Texas, while also doing personal photography such as weddings and graduations for individual people. His hobby had grown to a professional pursuit and finally a career. His friends, who would ask him to take pictures and videos at clubs, had grown into clients who showed respect and trust in his work for pay. Marcus started a management company called elite A-M management, where he manages photography and videography for high class clients.
