Martin is a Seattle native (his family moved here when he was five), and started racing in the early 1980’s. After taking 15 years off to get married and raise a son, he came back to win a Masters National championship, cultivate a fetish for endurance mountain bike races including the La Ruta de los Conquistadors and TransPortugal, and helped start Thumbprint Racing.
