BOULDER CREEK, CA — Doug Marshall will follow a proud tradition dating to 1872 when the first Boulder Creek Post Office was dedicated and its first postmaster, Joseph Peery, was installed. On Friday, May 14, 2010, at 11 a.m., Marshall will take the official oath of office at the Boulder Creek Post Office, 200 Lorenzo Street, Boulder Creek, CA 95006.
Marshall, 51, began his Postal Service career as a part-time letter carrier in Hayward in 1993. He became a delivery supervisor in Hayward in 1997 after graduating as a member of the Oakland Processing and Distribution Center’s first Associate Supervisor Program class. Then Marshall became a mail processing supervisor in Hayward. He transferred to a supervisor position in Los Gatos in 2000. Marshall was officer in charge in Felton and Pebble Beach, Postmaster of Pebble Beach in 2007, and then worked as postmaster in Boulder Creek beginning in March 2008.
“It is an honor to be a postmaster, serving as the highest ranking representative of the federal government in Boulder Creek. We try to give our customers excellent service every day—every customer—and we try to get better at what it is we do every day,” Marshall said.
He is married to Lisa. They have two sons, James, 14, and John, 11.
Marshall holds an Associate of Arts degree from Solano College. He volunteers his time in the capacity of Little League President in Scotts Valley.
