Marvin Lyman

About

Growing up east of Kansas City’s racial dividing line, Marvin Lyman understands many of the issues facing America. Whether they are the nuances of race and class, underemployment and unemployment, courageous entrepreneurship, access to capital, connecting with corporate supply opportunities, or urban and rural development, Marvin identifies, educates, and inspires through his experience. Having attended Kansas City’s premier public school, Lincoln College Preparatory Academy, Marvin took advantage of this foundation and received his bachelor’s degree from St. Cloud State University along with the highly coveted SCSU Excellence in Leadership Award. He was selected as a Congressional Intern through the Washington Center for Internships and was a Governor’s National Leadership Fellow at Ferris State University. Winning many awards along the way, Marvin is most proud of fathering his children who have tremendously blessed his life. As an ordained minister and certified Housing Development Finance Professional, Marvin makes himself readily available to empower disenfranchised groups by making strategic connections and assisting in the development of entrepreneurs.
