Biography
Clancy Martin was born in the mid 1960s, the middle child in a family of three boys. His father Bill was a type 1 diabetic, and a successful real estate developer in Toronto and Calgary, Canada. Clancy says his father was physically abusive to his mother. In 1971, his parents separated when Clancy's mother took up with his father's Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor. Clancy's father Bill then became involved in New Age spirituality, founding a "Church of Living Love" in Palm Beach, Florida in 1976. The church expanded to several locations before foundering. Bill would launch a number of such churches with ephemeral success. He died in 1997 in the psychiatric ward of a hospital for indigent persons.
Clancy grew up with his mother and stepfather, along with his two brothers and seven half-siblings, in a 1500 square foot rented house. He describes his stepfather as "a violent, angry man." Clancy was kicked out of high school for having marijuana in his locker.
Clancy earned his B.A. degree at Baylor University. He attended graduate school at University of Texas, Austin, in the philosophy department. He quit in the early 1990s to start a jewelry business with his older brother, but he says this led to cocaine use and a suicide attempt. He resumed his graduate studies after his father died in 1997. He received his PhD in philosophy from UT Austin in 2003. He then went on to teach at University of Missouri, Kansas City, where he is now a Professor of philosophy.
Martin has three daughters from his first two wives. He is currently married to the writer Amie Barrodale, his third wife. He is friends with the novelist Jonathan Franzen.
