artin came to Maui in the fall of 1990. He was born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark where his family had been dealing in fine arts and antiques for three generations, a tradition Martin has kept up. Martin was lured to Hawaii by his love and search for a clean and unspoiled environment. After visiting for just a short while, the power of the Pacific and the beauty of Maui had a somewhat magical effect on him. Quickly he came to realize that was he not to kid himself, he should consider settling down on Maui, in order to maximize his quality of life. Martin loves animals and is the proud owner of two rescued Rottweilers, a cat and a tank full of fish.

When time allows, Martin makes an effort to enjoy the ocean whether it is surfing, sailing, windsurfing, fishing free diving or simply swimming as well as hiking, biking, and gardening. Martin lives on the North Shore of Maui just outside of the historic Paia plantation town next to Baldwin Beach.
