Like millions of Americans Marty Faulk began his career as a teenager at the local McDonalds where he was introduced to two things, the phrase “If you have time to lean you have time to clean” and most importantly his wife Camilla. Marty later worked 20 years for the local newspaper, The Olympian, where he held positions as City Zone Manager, Sales & Marketing Manager, Account Executive and National Account Manager. As he approached his 40th birthday he made the decision to begin working in non-profit and pursue his dream as a writer. For three years he worked for the local Crisis Clinic as their community spokesman and is currently the Injury Prevention Coordinator at Emergency Medical Services (EMS) for the West Region of Washington State. In college Marty wrote a monthly column on humorous life experiences and was later editor of a publication for youth entitled “The Future Leader.”
