Marco Gutiérrez is originally from Fresno, California, and is the son of Mexican immigrants. 

While he was still a child, his family moved back to Mexico, where Gutiérrez finished college with a degree in international relations while working part time as an English teacher.

After graduating, he served in the Peace Corps in Cambodia until being evacuated with other volunteers at the start of the pandemic. He has since moved to Washington, D.C., where he is pursuing his interest in becoming a professional writer.
