Marvin Pierce Bush (born October 22, 1956) is the youngest son of George H. W. Bush and Barbara Pierce, and brother of George W., John (Jeb), Neil and Dorothy. He is named for his maternal grandfather. He has a wife, Margaret, and two children: a daughter, Marshall, and a son, Walker.
Marvin graduated from Woodberry Forest School in 1975, and spent most summers and holidays at the sprawling family estate, the Bush Compound. He was a director of Securacom a.k.a. Stratesec, a publicly traded company, from 1993 until fiscal year 2000. The Sterling, Virginia company provided electronic security for the World Trade Center and Dulles International Airport on September 11, 2001. Dulles is the airport where American Airlines flight 77 originated on the morning of September 11th, 2001. The company also had business dealings with MCI, now WorldCom. [1] (http://www.populist.com/03.02.burns.html) [2] (http://www.securitymanagement.com/library/sessions.html). The Securacom/Stratesec company was backed by an investment firm, the Kuwait-American Corp.
Marvin Bush is also associated with HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc. (http://www.hcch.com) (HCC), through being a former director, as well as being currently listed as an advisor to the board of directors [3] (http://www.hcch.com/content/directors_and_officers/bod/hcc_bod_frameset.htm). HCC is a publicly traded insurance company on the NYSE. HCC insured parts of the World Trade Center complex during September 11th, 2001 [4] (http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/national/2001/09/17/14308.htm).
Marvin sat on the boards of both HCC and Securacom/Stratesec at the same time, and both companies had a commercial interest in the World Trade Center complex. This information is required to be disclosed through SEC proxy filings but was not [5] (http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1037453/0000928385-99-001383.txt) [6] (http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/888919/0001047469-99-016818.txt). The proxy for Stratesec also omitted Marvin Bush's directorship at Fresh Del Monte Produce (FDP), a company run by Mohammed Abu-Ghazaleh[7] (http://www.freshdelmonte.com/content.cfm?pageID=56), who has a business background in several middle eastern countries, including Dubai and Kuwait. No SEC investigations into the omission of the required proxy disclosures are publicly known.
