Marty graduated from West Point and served as an Infantry Officer until serious injuries. After 9/11, he returned as an Army Chaplain. Today, he’s a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army National Guard, supporting soldiers and families through mental health, suicide prevention, homelessness, and resilience.
For over 25 years, Marty has been a top turnaround executive, stabilizing and fixing over 100 companies in various industries. A highlight: turning a cable company from $1M daily losses to $100M annual profits, saving thousands of jobs—including many in Chester County.
Marty and his wife Sandy have four children: Amanda (Special Olympics athlete); James (Eagle Scout, EMT, Penn State Freshman); David (Life Scout); and, Daniel (black belt). Sandy serves as PTO president, church volunteer, and education advocate. Their family is grounded in faith, service, and community.
Marty solves tough problems—leading troops, reviving businesses, supporting families—with discipline to cut waste, experience to grow jobs, and resolve to champion veterans, working families, and taxpayers.- My Young Americans Healthcare Plan (YAHP) leverages TRICARE to save American families at least $5000 annually and end medical bankruptcies.
TRICARE is a market-based and battle-tested healthcare system built by the US Military serving 10 million Americans today.
Using TRICARE, the YAHP provides universal healthcare coverage for all children, young adults and expectant mothers, while also offering low-cost healthcare options to everyone else. It will save the US Government billions, but also reduce the cost of healthcare across the board for families, businesses and state/local governments.
This is a pragmatic, proven and easily verified solution to solve the problem of healthcare access and coverage for all Americans. - My plan to fix housing affordability: Offer zero-interest, 15-year amortizing loans to qualifying families for starter and existing family homes. Home Interest rates ~6% (30-year) burden families with thousands in annual interest expense. Zero-interest slashes payments for immediate affordability while building wealth fast—families own outright in 15 years with no interest drain, accumulating equity to break the renting and perpetual mortgage cycles. How do we do this at no cost to taxpayers? We give families access to the same quantitative easing programs that banks and asset managers get to level the playing field with the ultra wealthy. Affordability today + generational wealth tomorrow. Let's make the American Dream real again.
- Congress is broken. Approval ratings are dismal—currently less than 20% with disapproval over 65%. This reflects widespread frustration with gridlock, self-interest, and ethical lapses among the 80% of us in the middle. To fix this, I support congressional term limits, a full ban on public stock trading by members & spouses, and ending special privileges. Term limits bring fresh perspectives and accountability—83% of Americans back them. Banning trades stops insider profiteering from nonpublic info; 80%+ public support across parties. I'm running for Congress to represent the 80% of us tired of partisan politics and career politicians. I want government to work for everyday Americans again.
For much of my life, Chester County was known as one of the best places in America to build a life and raise children. Sadly, that's changing. Skyrocketing costs of living—especially housing and healthcare—are making it increasingly difficult for families to thrive.
