Born in England and raised in Newfoundland, Martin spent five years studying history, political science and philosophy at King’s College in Halifax. Since 1989, Ontario has been home. 

Time flew by and now Martin has 32 years of experience in the public affairs and market research industry - surveys, focus groups, demographics, data analysis, statistics and modeling – all that stuff. 

Always someone who enjoyed fixing and building things, his interest in recent years has come to include woodworking and game design. Woodworking is a challenge and a passion. 

Martin is bilingual, holds an honours degree in Political Science from Dalhousie University and has studied advanced research methods at the graduate level at Carleton University. He lives in Ottawa with his family.
