Marcus Damas is an American entrepreneur, retired professional basketball player, and devoted husband and father based in New York City. Before playing in Sweden’s professional basketball league for the Solna Vikings, Marcus played Small Forward for the Towson Tigers, Towson University’s NCAA Division 1 team in the state of Maryland, where he is on the top 20 all-time scoring list.

Following his basketball career, Marcus returned to New York City to pursue a career in creative leadership. He knew that his connections among brands, athletes, entrepreneurs and entertainers should not end when his basketball career did, thus propelling him to become the Founder and CEO of Fueled by Culture.
