About Us

Marty has extensive professional and corporate experience in executive management, primarily within the information technology and healthcare industries.  His experiences with a variety of companies and cultures involved actively negotiated mutually agreeable solutions for a variety of interpersonal and business conflicts.  He has participated in numerous team-building and sensitivity training programs and has completed over 100 hours of formal mediation training, including:

Ø     Basic mediation skills

Ø     ACR Certified training for family law issues

Ø     Certified Professional in Managing Workplace Conflict

Ø     Advanced training, including mediating across cultures. 

He has mediated dozens of disputes helping people to create pathways to solutions.  Marty strongly believes in the outstanding value of mediation and finds the process of facilitating positive outcomes genuinely satisfying.

He is a cum laude graduate of Western New England School of Law, where he received a J.D. degree, and has a bachelor’s degree in political science.  During law school and as a practicing attorney, Marty focused on negotiating for juveniles and the disabled, as well as assisting clients with uncontested divorces, including separation agreements, child support and parenting plans.  Marty is a member of the Arizona bar, but cannot represent mediation clients as that would be a conflict of interest.  He is also licensed in Massachusetts and Virginia.

For many years, as a healthcare and technology executive or consultant, it was clear that the success of future harmony and productivity depended on conflicts being resolved so that the result worked for all involved.  He spent significant time negotiating and resolving employment and ADA issues, as well as building teams, resolving the inevitable interpersonal conflicts that arise as teams mature.  He has extensive experience negotiating contracts and resolving disputes for services, facilities, employment, and real estate with a focus on the technology industry and healthcare.
