His earlier journalistic positions have included stints with WNBC-TV in New York City (1998–1999) and KSAZ-TV in Phoenix, Arizona (1999–2002). He then worked for a short time as an anchor at Headline News, before transferring to CNN as a Los Angeles-based correspondent in March 2003.

Raised in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, Marquez earned an associate's degree from the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, New Mexico. He earned a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of New Mexico and a master's in international affairs from Columbia University.

Before beginning his journalistic career, Marquez was a researcher with the Congressional Research Service and then served as a legislative aide to then U.S. Representative Bill Richardson.

Marquez is a member of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists and the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association.[1]

Marquez was attacked by Bahraini police forces while covering the 2011 Bahraini protests in Pearl square, bravely continuing with a phone call report to ABC News in New York as he was targeted: "There was a canister that looked like -- No! No! No! Hey! I'm a journalist here! I'm going! I'm going! I'm going! I'm going! ... I'm hit."[2]
