Kyle & Erin Martin – Advocates, Creatives, and Champions for the Down Syndrome Community

Kyle and Erin Martin’s journey together began in a voice class at Viterbo University in 2005, where their shared love for music sparked a lifelong partnership. Since then, they have been making music together, leading worship on campus and in several community churches. Today, they reside in Bloomer, WI, with their beautiful family of five biological children—Dexter (15), Eleanor (13), Desmond (10), Thaddeus (8), and Genevieve (5), their youngest daughter who has Down syndrome.

Their experience parenting a child with Down syndrome has deepened their passion for advocacy, inclusion, and supporting families navigating similar journeys. They are committed to raising awareness and creating meaningful connections within the Down syndrome and special needs communities.

As a fostering family, Kyle and Erin also have a heart for vulnerable children and are eager to grow their family through adoption, specifically hoping to adopt a sibling group. Their experiences—both the challenges and blessings—have shaped their desire to strengthen marriages, nurture families, and support children in need.

Through their company, Martin Creative LLC, and social space as The Upside Down Family, they combine their creative gifts in music, videography, and storytelling to impact families, communities, and businesses. Their faith, creativity, and commitment to serving others are at the core of everything they do, as they continue to build a legacy of love, inclusion, and purpose.
