Stuff About Marty
- I have more useless talents than anyone (Juggling, unicycling, yo-yos, I spin things and I can make a game out of just about anything)
- Nicknamed "marty moose" because I was bit by a moose when I was a child, which in turn gave me supernatural powers. As "Mooseman" I am able to leap tall children in a single bound and run faster than a speeding 3rd grader!
- Favorite Scripture: Philippians 1:21
- Family: Wife, Rachael, Daughters Becca and Cori and sons Zach and Parker
- Education: BA in Psychology and English, Heidelberg College
Master's Degree in Theology from Mount Vernon Nazarene University
- Trained for ministry at East Side in 1994-1995 (Under Jay Firebaugh/Chip Heim)
- Youth Pastor from 1995 - 2004
- Started in February 2004
