Marshall attended Brooks School in North Andover, Massachusetts. After enlisting in 1942, he served with the U.S. Marine Corps and led his platoon in the battle of Iwo Jima, attaining the rank of Lieutenant and earning a Purple Heart. After the end of the war, he enrolled in Brown University.
Marshall was the U.S. consul in Istanbul (1958–59); then, in the Nixon administration, the U.S. ambassador to the Malagasy Republic (1969–71). He was expelled by the Malagasy government in June 1971 following a Malagasy newspaper report that the government received a secret document bearing his signature that implicated him in a supposed coup d’etat against President Philibert Tsiranana. Later he served as ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago (1972–74) and briefly to Kenya (1973); and in the Ford administration, to the Seychelles (1976). He was also an assistant to Richard M. Bissell Jr. during the development of the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft.
In the 1980s, he was an officer with United States Trust Company of New York, where he assisted the bank with the management of large estate accounts.
