Hi. I’m Marty.
Teacher, Designer.

I’m passionate about helping students move toward their most meaningful life. I love designing digital experiences for people. I build websites, I shoot photo and video, and love to tinker in sound studios.

About Me

Nice to meet you!

Born and raised a Lexington native, I have called both Louisville and Cincinnati home for a few short chapters, but my heart has always been squarely planted in the Horse Capital of the World. I teach English and visual and performing arts at the STEAM Academy. I am raising two beautiful girls with my Wife and best friend, Tasha. This website is just my small corner of the web where I play with digital design ideas and occasionally write. My side hustles include photography, videography and web design. I am a sucker for French and Italian cooking, and with any spare time you’ll find me tinkering in sound studios behind a drum kit or a piano. I was Southland Church’s first kit drummer, where I played for 25 years. I now work behind the spotlights in audio, cameras, or whatever else needs to happen to make worship an exceptional experience.

VIDEOGRAPHY

I will See you Again.

Exploring the loss of a pet.

When it was clear that Arie, my black lab, only had pain in her future, it was obvious that is was time to let go. I filmed my experience of saying goodbye to my best friend of 13 years.
