Marty

Marty is a dad. He has twice as many family members as he has bedrooms. He does advertising, but would rather work in some type of shop. Like a workshop or repairshop. Or a garage. In fact, he has no garage, so he rents a shop to go and work on his projects, think about advertising or just sit there. In the quiet. But most of the time he is just dad, and that's the best part of this bio.
