TONY AND SHARI MARTIN

Owners

After a dozen years as a Corporate Banking Executive with Bank of America and Wells Fargo, followed by another decade as a Fintech executive for New York based firms, Shari Martin was happy to put down some local roots here in Roswell when she and Tony established Martin’s Garden in 2016.  Shari is responsible for strategy and acts as CFO for Martin’s Garden.  She loves building community by connecting the farm to charities, including Children’s Development Academy, where she serves on the Board of Directors.  Shari also joined the Board of Georgia Organics in 2022 and is excited to bring what she learns to the farm. The proud pet-parent to all of the farm animals, she is the human parent to her favorite kiddos; Lauren, Bode and Layni.

Tony Martin has been a Roswell resident since 1998. Tony is a co-founder of Medlytix, LLC, a healthcare technology company based in Roswell since 2006.  When he is not helping solve provider reimbursement issues, you can find him working on and enjoying the farm, Martin’s Garden.  Tony’s drive to “give back” has brought him to serve on other boards, including the Atlanta Community Food Bank and Songs for Kids Foundation Advisory boards as well as The Roswell Arts Fund Advisory Board. Tony’s is a lucky husband, the father of 3 amazing children and the T-Pop to 2 beautiful granddaughters.
