He was bom in Cleveland, OH and was the son of Sol and Molly (Singerman) Goldberg. He graduated from Ohio University and received his Masters of Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania. Marvin began his career in 1975 as the Assistant Executive Director at the original Jewish Home for the Aged on Pleasant Street in Worcester, MA, where he orchestrated the move plan to the present location of the Jewish Healthcare Center. He served as the Executive Director of the Jewish Healthcare Center until 1996, where he left a 21 year lasting legacy to the staff, its residents and their families as a loving and comforting place to both work and live. After his tenure at the Jewish Healthcare Center, Marvin was the Executive Director of the Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte (NC) from 1996- 2001, and then moved on to be the Executive Director of the Jewish Federation of Greater Toledo, OH.
