Born in Washington DC, Jim Marshall left this area at age nine to live in Mt. Vernon, Illinois.  His father, the Rev. Jarvis Marshall, had been called there to serve as a Baptist minister.  Jim was a member of the football team in high school, and upon graduation, he spent four years in the U.S. Army.  He had the opportunity for a tour of duty in Germany.

 Jim’s work life has nearly always revolved around the financial industry.  After leaving the military, he took a position with the First National Bank in Washington, D.C.  He attended the Washington Banking Institute and completed extensive executive management development programs at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. 

 For those Wahoos in the reading audience, take note that Jim attended the Darden Graduate School at the University of Virginia.  Just listen to the cheers!

 In 1968 Jim accepted a management position with the Navy Federal Credit Union, the world’s largest credit union, with more than 22 billion in assets and 2.5 million members worldwide.  In 1989 he received Navy Federal’s highest award, the Pennestri Memorial Award for exceptional leadership and service.  Presently, Jim is the Chairman of Creditors International, headquartered in Minneapolis, MN. 

 All this – and a Shriner’s clown, too!   Jim is a businessman who is not only serious about business, he is serious about helping raise funds to support Shriner’s hospitals for crippled and burned children.  In the process, they want to bring a little more joy to the world.  Community involvement is important to him.  He has spoken at several area high schools about the proper use of credit, to help students become responsible adults in a world where the wise use of credit is critical.  His desire to be involved in the community brought him to membership in the Vienna Rotary Club. 

 Last, but most certainly not least, Jim is a family man.  He and his wife of twenty-six years, Jeannie Baber-Marshall, have two children:  Jay, their seventeen year old son, and Jamie, their twelve year old daughter.
