Marciniak was raised in Chicago and played football for Mount Carmel High School. He was the co-captain of Mount Carmel's 1954 football team that won the Chicago Catholic League championship and then lost in the city championship game.[1][2][3]

After graduating from high school, Marciniak attended the University of Michigan starting in 1955.[4] He played college football at the tackle for the 1957 and 1958 Michigan Wolverines football teams.[5][6]

He later played for the Saskatchewan Roughriders during the 1959 season.[7]

After retiring from football, Marciniak worked as a sales representative for Bliss & Laughlin in Harvey, Illinois. He was also a member of Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley's commission on human relations in the 1960s.[8]

In 1991, Marciniak was named to the all-time football team from Mt. Carmel High School.[9]
