Marlene Morris
Meet Marlene Co-Founder Head of Marketing Marlene was raised in a legacy of pioneering farmers, where she learned the value of grit, hard work, tilling the land and growing your own food. My father lived by a philosophy of sustainable practices and passed on to me a profound perspective — that everything in nature follows a biological order, and it’s our responsibility to be good stewards in the world we share. Over the years, she has worn many hats: mom, real estate broker, agency, investor, national instructor, designer and serial entrepreneur. In 2015, Marlene took a bold step and founded Eco Choice Products, an agency dedicated to helping eco-conscious manufacturers bring sustainable, safe solutions to market. Since then, she has helped eco driven manufacturers from pets to pests, gain national recognition and secure major purchasing accounts . She likes to think she was MAHA before it was cool. Co-founded with nationally recognized industry expert Jeff McGovern, AKA “The Pest Coach” is now a new division of Eco Choice Products, focused on delivering green solutions in the cleaning, sanitation, and pest control industries. Our focus is poison free, non toxic product solutions where they’re needed most — in the environments where people live, work, eat and breathe. With providence, inspiration, and a passionate network of partners, we have opened many doors. The time for SAFE sustainable solutions is now, and our mission is clear.
