Marc Alan Besinaiz

Marc, alongside his brother Stephen, is the driving force behind Valor and Faith, a mission rooted in service, sacrifice, and faith. He has dedicated his life to honoring and supporting veterans, disabled veterans, first responders, and faith-based communities.

Under his leadership, Valor and Faith has launched the Brochin Expeditions Package as its flagship outdoor program for combat veterans, established institutional partnerships with the Royal House of Portugal, the Archdiocese for the Military Services, Turkey Creek Ranch, and Bandera Historical Rides, and built the operational foundation for the work that follows. Marc remains committed to ensuring that no warrior is left without a brotherhood to come home to.

His commitment is personal. Marc comes from a proud lineage of American patriots. His father, a Vietnam veteran, suffered from Agent Orange exposure and ultimately succumbed to those injuries. His grandfather, a World War II veteran, remained a steadfast patriot until his last breath. Two great uncles made the ultimate sacrifice in combat during World War II, losses that Marc continues to honor to this day. This legacy of duty and resilience, alongside his brother Stephen's lifelong service to America, fuels his unwavering commitment to Valor and Faith.

Marc holds a Bachelor's in Business Administration from Ottawa University and a Master's in Education for Health Care Professionals from Texas A&M University. He is currently pursuing a Master's in Management from Harvard University, further strengthening his ability to lead and create impactful change.

With a background in the medical field, Marc has proudly served Texans since 1998. Beyond his professional and leadership roles, he has volunteered countless hours with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and the Smithville Empty Bowl Project, extending his commitment to community service into the neighborhoods where Texans work, gather, and give back.
