2025 Livingston County Distinguished Citizen
Marty Smith
Bank of Ann Arbor

Martin (Marty) E. Smith was born in Southfield, Michigan, to Ken and Virginia Smith as the youngest of 12 children—seven girls and five boys. Growing up in a bustling household, Marty quickly developed strong survival skills and a deep sense of family. He was raised in the metro Detroit area and graduated from the University of Detroit with a Bachelor of Science in Economics. Marty launched his career in commercial banking in 1984.
In 1990, he moved to Brighton, where he met his future wife, Shari. Their story began in 1991 at Old Kent Bank—a love story that, at the time, raised a few eyebrows! Marty and Shari have been happily married for 32 years and are grateful for the support of their close-knit family and friends. They enjoy living in Livingston County, where they’ve made their home.
Marty is deeply committed to his community. He currently serves as the Treasurer for Livingston County Catholic Charities, is a member of the Howell Chamber of Commerce Board, and participates actively in St. Patrick’s Knights of Columbus (you might spot him at a fish fry!). Additionally, he’s been involved with numerous local organizations, including Livingston Big Brothers Big Sisters, Pregnancy Help Clinic, Michigan Works!, and Mentor Livingston. Marty also served as a Livingston County Commissioner, representing the Brighton and Brighton Township area.
Professionally, Marty is the Livingston County Manager at the Bank of Ann Arbor in Howell, where he continues to make an impact in the financial community. Outside of work, Marty and Shari are the proud parents of three daughters, all of whom are now married and have blessed them with three grandchildren. In his free time, Marty enjoys heading “Up North” whenever possible for some relaxation. He’s passionate about fishing and woodworking, both of which provide him with a peaceful escape.
