After graduating from Edgemont High School in 1972, where he was a star long-distance runner, he went on to become an aircraft mechanic through the Teterboro School of Aeronautics.

Marty earned his instrument rating as a private pilot, was a passionate hunter and fisherman, and most recently became involved with the local amateur radio club. From the 1980s into the early 2000s, he was actively involved with the Masons and kept in contact with many of his Masonic brothers.
