Marty attended Saratoga School. While growing up he lived in Ryan Park for a while and helped his dad with the logging and made many of the roads there today.

Marty worked in many different trades. He logged for Jim Crowe and Lester and Tom Westring. Marty also worked at Arch Mineral Coal Mine with his uncles and many friends.
