He graduated from Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School where he was a track star, holding many records for generations, some only to be broken by his own grandson. He could possibly still hold one record. This is a legacy he was very proud of.

He devoted many years of his life researching and writing a screenplay about the life of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, “Padre Pio”. He was a Benedictine oblate lay brother. Outside of religious devotions, Marty was known for his love of Coca-Cola, The New York Yankees, Harry Potter and watching movies.
