Marcel Lucchese
PE Teacher. Coach. Real Estate Agent. Kingston, New York.

25 Years in Kingston. One Consistent Standard.
Marcel Lucchese grew up in Kingston, New York, attended Florida State University on a track and field scholarship, and came back home to build a career in the schools where he grew up. He has taught physical education in the Kingston City School District for 25 years — first coaching cross-country and track at the high school level for 16 consecutive years, then shifting to elementary adaptive PE, where he travels between buildings to work with children whose disabilities prevent participation in standard classes.
He holds a master’s degree in physical education and exercise science from Brooklyn College and a New York real estate license, with years of experience in house flipping, home construction, and residential development. He plans to retire from teaching and relocate to Southern California to pursue real estate full time.
