Marty King believes your best chapter doesn't begin when you retire—it begins when you decide what's next.

For nearly three decades, Marty has helped thousands of adults navigate one of life's biggest decisions: choosing the right lifestyle for their next season of life. Through his work with 55+ communities, he has guided people and families through the emotional, financial, and practical realities of downsizing, relocating, and creating a life filled with purpose, friendships, and new adventures.

What makes Marty's perspective unique is that he has lived the message he shares. Since turning 50, he earned an engineering degree, completed the Chicago Marathon, served as president of a volunteer soccer organization, received the Illinois Soccer Association's Administrator of the Year award, overcame prostate cancer and melanoma, and became the author of multiple books. His experiences have reinforced one simple belief: age is not a finish line—it's an opportunity to reinvent yourself.

Marty is the author of The Next Neighborhood, a series designed to help adults make confident, informed decisions about 55+ living. He is also launching a podcast dedicated to inspiring people over 55 through conversations with experts, physicians, entrepreneurs, and everyday people who are proving that some of life's greatest accomplishments happen after 55.

Through his writing, speaking, and online content, Marty encourages people to stop asking, "Is this it?" and start asking, "What's next?" His practical advice, personal stories, and genuine optimism have made him a trusted voice for adults who want more than retirement—they want purpose, connection, and their best years still ahead.
