Cr Marshall Chalk lives in the Scenic Rim area of Carneys Creek, south of Boonah, and is the fourth-generation farmer on his family’s dairy and beef property. He currently operates a beef cattle business, breeding and backgrounding cattle, and also operates beef and pig feedlots on his property in the South Burnett Region with his wife Samantha and their three boys.

Marshall attended Mount Alford State School and Boonah State High School and, after finishing Year 12, worked on the family farm. He then followed his passion to play rugby league, firstly playing for the Fassifern Bombers and the Ipswich Jets before moving to Canberra to play professional Rugby League for the Canberra Raiders. He then moved to the United Kingdom to play for the Celtic Crusaders in the English Super League, before returning to work the family farm in 2010.
