Father Martin was born in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business in 1982, where he received a bachelor's degree in finance (B.S. Econ.). After working for six years in corporate finance with General Electric Co. in New York and Connecticut, he entered the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) in 1988. During his novitiate, Martin worked in a hospital for the seriously ill in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a hospice for the sick and dying with the Missionaries of Charity in Kingston, Jamaica; a homeless shelter in Boston, and at the Nativity Mission School, a middle school for poor boys, in New York City. In August 1990, he pronounced his simple vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. From 1990 to 1992, he studied philosophy at Loyola University in Chicago, and also worked in an outreach program with street-gang members in the inner city and at a local community center helping unemployed men and women find jobs. For his “regency,” he worked for two years with the Jesuit Refugee Service in Nairobi, Kenya, where he helped East African refugees start small businesses and cofounded a small shop for refugee handicrafts; and for one year with America magazine in New York City. In 1995, Martin began his theology studies at the Weston Jesuit School of Theology, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he received his master's degree in divinity (M.Div.) in 1998, and his master's in theology (Th.M.) in 1999. While in Cambridge, he worked as a chaplain at a Boston prison. After completing his Jesuit studies, he was ordained a Catholic priest in June 1999. He received an honorary doctor of divinity degree (D.D.) from Wagner College in 2007. On November 1, 2009, he pronounced his final vows as a Jesuit.

Father Martin is the author of several books. His bestselling memoir My Life with the Saints (Loyola, 2006), which received a 2007 Christopher Award, was named one of the "Best Books" of 2006 by Publishers Weekly. It also received a First Place Award from the Catholic Press Association. My Life with the Saints has sold more than 100,000 copies and is used in schools, parishes, and book clubs around the country. A DVD based on the book, called Who Cares about the Saints?, was released in 2009. His most recent book is A Jesuit Off-Broadway: Center Stage with Jesus, Judas and Life’s Big Questions (Loyola, 2007), which was named one of Publishers Weekly’s Best Books of 2007 and was awarded a First Place award from the Catholic Press Association. His book The Jesuit Guide to Almost Everything (HarperOne) will be published in March 2010.

He is also author of Becoming Who You Are: Insights on the True Self from Thomas Merton and Other Saints (Paulist, 2006), Searching for God at Ground Zero (Sheed & Ward: 2002); In Good Company: The Fast Track from the Corporate World to Poverty, Chastity and Obedience (Sheed & Ward: 2000); and This Our Exile: A Spiritual Journey with the Refugees of East Africa (Orbis: 1999), winner of a Catholic Press Association award. He is the editor of Celebrating Good Liturgy: A Guide to the Ministries of the Mass (Loyola, 2005); Awake My Soul: Contemporary Catholics on Traditional Devotions (Loyola, 2004); and How Can I Find God: The Famous and Not-So-Famous Consider the Quintessential Question (Liguori, 1997). His books have been translated into Spanish, German, Portuguese, Polish, Chinese, and Korean.
