Marlon Núñez (he/him, él/lo)
Sprout City Farms
MAP Community Navigator

With deep family roots in both Denver and Venezuela, Marlon is originally from South Florida and has been living in Colorado since late 2014. He moved here after graduating from Johns Hopkins University with a BA in International Studies and exploring these interests in Berlin, Germany and Buenos Aires, Argentina. Brought on board following a variety of experiences working on state and local political campaigns and advocacy and even some management with the city of Denver, he is dedicated to reimagining our urban spaces with an emphasis on development that centers directly-impacted communities.

Marlon is passionate not just about what is done but how we do it, working with strong anti-colonialist decision-making processes to redefine land in ways that fulfill people's needs. Steeped in environmental justice but relatively new to farming, he is excited to use food as the medium to address the whole health of neighborhoods surrounding Mountair Park. In his free time, Marlon enjoys fitness, travel, LEGO, volunteering and activism, and spending time with friends.
