[edit] Early life
Mars was born in Queens, New York, the only son of Deborah L., a business woman, homemaker, and nurse, and Anthony R., a physician specializing in internal medicine and anesthesiology. In 1986, Mars moved with his parents to Marinette, Wisconsin where his father became the town's first anesthesiologist. He attended Marinette High School from 1990-1994 where he was elected senior class president. Upon graduation Mars attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison where he studied history, political science, and philosophy. While at Madison he ran the university's Pre-Law Society for three years, hosted dignitaries including U.S. Senator Herb Kohl and U.S. Senator Russ Feingold, and was selected as the junior class representative for the UW-Madison Homecoming Court. He then attended graduate school at Harvard University where he continued his study of political philosophy.

The two were married five years later to the date, time, and at the same place where they first met in a modest ceremony attended by close family and friends.
