Marlondos C Fields, a man of deep faith, was born on November 10, 1975, in Orlando, Florida. He dedicated 20 years and 8 months to the United States Navy, retiring as an E-6 HR/Navy Career Counselor/Navy Recruiter. In 2012, he made Tyler his home.

A TJC alumnus, Marlondos holds degrees in Social Work, Art, and Criminal Justice. His collecting hobby, sparked in 1997 in Norfolk, Virginia, has flourished into a vast 10,000-square-foot collection of antiques and artifacts. He founded Yesterday's Tomorrow, a 501c3 organization, and F.A.A.C.E.S, which boasts a library of prints dating from the 1800s to today, covering 1,000 square feet.

Marlondos, a dedicated father, has four children: Ashley (31), Marquise (30), Bailey (2), and Marlondos Jr. (3). His faith and church membership since 1997 have been cornerstones of his life. He finds inspiration in figures like Wesley Snipes, Denzel Washington, James Earl Jones, and AO1 SW/AW Seay, with whom he served on the USS Enterprise. Following his divorce and transition to single fatherhood, Marlondos C Fields was moved to share his experiences in his debut publication.
