Martin spent the first few years of his life in Papua New Guinea before his family moved to Brisbane. He completed all his education in Brisbane graduating from Dentistry at the University of Queensland in 1998. He also attained a Graduate Diploma in Clinical Dentistry (Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics) in 2012.

He married Danielle in 2002 and in 2007 they moved to Danielle’s home town of Mackay to raise their family in Mackay’s more relaxed environment. Together they have 3 children.

Martin became a partner at Plaza Dental in 2008 and has remained one of the owners since then. As a dentist Martin’s main interests lie in helping people maintain healthy, attractive teeth throughout their lives. To this end, as well as his Grad Dip in Pros (the repair and rehabilitation of teeth), he also has done extensive study in the areas of Dental Implants and Invisalign and other clear aligner systems for straightening teeth. This allows him to provide patients with a complete range of options to improve both the appearance and function of their teeth.

He has been the Secretary of the local Dental Association  since 2012. Martin’s children are mostly adults now, so with the extra free time he has gotten back into golf and likes to take trips away to ride his bike in cool places.
