Lookin’ at U – Marvin Vallier

Quick, think of five things others should know about you.

That’s the theme behind a series in UNMC Today called “Lookin’ at U.”

Each Thursday, we will randomly select a medical center employee or student to feature.

This week, we feature Marvin Vallier, a graphic designer in UNMC Printing Services.

Here, in his own words, are five fun facts about Marvin:

• Before I came to the print shop, a lot of people that I worked with called me “Veno.”

• I come from a family of 10 children and I was next to the youngest.

• I have been married for 47 years, have two children, Gregory and Desirae, two grand children, Nolan, he will be starting his junior year at Iowa State and Megan, she will be attending Missouri State in the fall. Oh, and we have two little girl shapoos, Jasmine and Jade.

• I’m a would-be car nut, I love doing things in wood, we have a fair-sized Coca-Cola collection. When I retire later this month, I plan to get back into painting and maybe sculpturing and just have a good time, which I do most every day in my life.

• My wife, Mary, retired three years ago and turns 65 in August. That’s my que to shuffle off the stage and retire, too.
