Marty was born and raised in the rural Washington State town of Nooksack, where he met his wife Christie in the 2nd grade. Marty, along with Christie and their two kids, enjoy spending Saturdays tailgating and watching Husky Football. Marty is always game for a good karaoke night (hit him up and he’ll meet you at Palmer’s in Redmond - even during tax season!).
