Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Dan Marriott was born on 2 November 1939 in Bingham, Tooele County, Utah. He was educated in the public schools of Sandy, Utah, graduating from Jordan High School in 1958. He received a Bachelor of Science from the University of Utah in 1967 and a C.L.U. from the American College of Life Underwriters in 1968. He also served in the Utah Air National Guard from 1958-1963. Marriott worked as a life insurance agent and was owner-president of Utah based firm, Marriott and Associates, specializing in business, pension consultation, and real estate. In 1965 he married Marilyn Tingey of Brigham City, Utah, and they had four children.
In 1976, Marriott was elected as a Republican to the U.S. House of Representatives, where he served four succeeding terms. He was appointed to the Interior of Small Business committees and soon became a ranking Republican on the Mines and Mining Subcommittee. He served on subcommittees over all US territories and he served on the Indian Subcommittee and on the Energy and Environment Subcommittee, and on the Capital Formation Subcommittee of the Small Business Committee. In 1981 Dan Marriott was awarded the honor named Small Business Man of the Year. He sponsored legislation to establish a National Family Week and was Republican chairman of the select committee on Children, Youth and Families. During his tenure as a congressman he organized constituent services in Utah with mobile offices and staff to help voters with problems relating to government. He decided against seeking a fifth term in the House of Representatives and ran unsuccessfully for governor of the state of Utah in 1984.
In 1985 Marriott went into the financial planning and real estate businesses. Two of his major projects include a resort in Springdale, Washington County and a travel center in Ogden.
