from wikki Personal Life[edit]
As of February 2014, his Virginia Senate website states, 'Steve was born in Chesterfield County, Virginia and has seven siblings.' Several political watchdog groups list Martin's only "Education" as a Virginia high school diploma from the Lynchburg Christian Academy, in Lynchburg, VA. He lists his religious affiliation as "Baptist" and his official website states, 'Steve is a member of South Richmond Rotary and [the] Swift Creek Baptist Church. He enjoys spending time with his sons and his two granddaughters, Olivia and Mckinley, and looks forward to welcoming his third grandchild in the near future.' According to Project Vote Smart, as of 2012 Martin was still married to wife Sharon, and they had two adult sons, Chad, and Nathan. The updated wording of the senator's personal webpage, the use of the singular personal pronoun "his third grandchild", vice "their third grandchild" indicates he is recently divorced. In the official website for the "Virginia Senate Republican Caucus" nearly every member lists his spouse and college alma mater: as of early 2014, the page for Martin omits any mention of a spouse or college education. Most Virginia state legislators hold "outside" jobs and Martin works in financial services, as a licensed insurance consultant and securities dealer, heading his own firm-- Martin Financial Services.
