Marco Martinez

Marco Martinez was born and raised in a southern suburb of Austin, Texas. He attended Texas A&M University and Texas Lutheran University, worked in the Texas state legislature for six years, spent fifteen years at Dell, and served as vice president of sales and marketing at an independent company in Austin. After being diagnosed with stage four colon cancer, he began writing a weekly blog to document his thoughts and feelings about his new life. Those reflections became his book, 265 Likes For a Fart, a candid chronicle of facing a terminal illness without giving up.
