Joe Martin

I grew up in Norfolk, VA. I went to college at the University of Pittsburgh. It was life changing in two ways: I met my wife there and I got a degree in Information Science. After graduation, I moved to Madison, WI. After our wedding, my wife moved out with me. We've since had four precocious daughters. I've always loved to read and have enjoyed reading on a variety of subjects. While in college, I discovered an interest in economics, Constitutional Law and the intersection of the two—politics. I'm fascinated with cost-benefit trade-offs and with understanding the true cost of something—not just in money, but also in time. I also like to learn more about American history and Christian theology. When sports are in season, I love rooting for the Pitt Panthers, Green Bay Packers, Borussia Dortmund, and FC Tucson.
