There, he earned a degree in Health and Exercise Science and passed several exams through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). His extensive coursework in behavior patterns, nutrition, and health program design equipped him to be a thorough trainer and coach.

Outside of coaching, Marty’s passions are diverse. From his love for singing, especially Blues and Heavy Metal, to his deep spiritual connection after being baptized in 2006, Marty’s life is a blend of varied interests. Following his personal motto, “carpe diem,” he enjoys helping people in unexpected ways and cherishes moments with his wife, Lesley, and their children, Graydon and Laine.
