Even after he sold his interest in the company to me, he supported our expansion into design and manufacturing by loaning the company the money required to develop Flying Faders. Twenty-five years later, Art is still working hard at Martinsound as Vice President of Finance. It is hard to believe that Art has had time to do anything but work at Martinsound and keep tabs on his boy, but he has accomplished so much more. Professionally he has taught medicine and had a private practice for over 30 years. He also served for over 3 decades on the Board of Directors of a multi-billion dollar hospital corporation.
Art is the ultimate family man.
His marriage to my mother continues after 63 years and he is an outstanding father to his three children including my two older sisters. Art's generosity extends beyond his family. He is a philanthropist, sharing his talents and resources with his church, community, family and friends. On behalf of all of the people, both in and out of the pro-audio business, who have been touched by Art Martinson and his quiet, behind the scenes contribution, I want wish him a happy 85th birthday.
