GMS Founders

Marvin Ellis

President & Founder

Marvin Ellis, the 2nd of 4 children was raised in Seattle, Washington in the inner city with few opportunities. However, with the guidance of a strong mom and the ability to score touchdowns, Marvin went to school on a football scholarship where he studied computer information systems. Never one to give up, being injured on the football field didn’t stop him as he joined the Navy in 1990. Upon leaving the Navy due to a medical discharge, he was quickly recruited by EDS and was trained in material management systems and operations.

At the early age of 30, EDS and General Motors began shutting down plants in California and Marvin got a job as a logistics manager in Milipitas, California. After 2 years of excellence, he was quickly promoted to regional manager for a position on the east coast and moved his family to Freehold, New Jersey. It was this new position and all its promise that changed Marvin’s path forever. This new position only lasted 6 months for him. After hiring and training 50 employees, the company downsized and Marvin was laid off. 3000 miles away from his family, Marvin decided he would never work for someone else ever again.

It was the greatest thing that ever happened to him as in 1999 he founded givemeservice.com and took all of his past experiences and applied them to small business owners and began providing solutions that would drive down their costs and increase their revenue. Whether it be through business networking with his other company (www.gmsbusinessnetwork.com) or through creating comprehensive Internet Marketing Solutions that create thousands of leads per year, Marvin simply loves working with small business owners every day. It has become his passion
