Alpheaus Marcus is the CEO of A.M.X. Consultants a consulting firm that specializes in the political agendas of the urban community. He created A.M.X. Consultants from his work within the urban communities as a community advocate identifying how poverty, housing, and political neglect have been the root causes of both crime and the social inequalities of this affected community.
As a community advocate Mr. Marcus has helped countless families affected by the issues of the lack of social inclusions as follows:
· Gang and Gun Violence.
· Inequalities of Education.
· Issues of horrendous living conditions within NYCHA.
· Police relationships within the Black Communities.
Mr. Marcus has utilized his relationship with both elected officials and the media to get the necessary attentions to address the issues within the urban communities so that community could have a voice.
Mr. Marcus was born and raised in Harlem where he like many within his community became a product of his environment. Watching both of his parents succumb to drug addictions and having to help raise his siblings with his grandmother he understood the struggles of giving up hope in voting and becoming numb to the everyday struggles of life in the urban communities.
Mr. Marcus has run for both state assembly and city council raising the awareness of the issues and agendas of the community to force change in how the Black Communities have continued to have a backseat to others’ agendas while sacrificing their own. His work within the community has allowed him to have access as well as a platform to advise and assist the urban communities. From helping establish for profit and not for profits, to advising small business owners on ways to enhance their business capacity through strategic and innovative means for success above their competitors.
